Profense
[edit]Profense is a web application firewall software product. It is designed to protect web applications, web sites and networks from hackers and vulnerabilities including the OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities [1]. The software aims to stop new threats and attacks before signature updates have been installed on the PC.
The software includes:
- Session validation and CSRF protection
- Positive and negative filtering
- Output rewriting and log data masking
- An auto learning mode similar to Imperva’s dynamic profiling which gives instant protection and adaptive learning
- XML services support
- DoS and DDoS mitigation
- Load balancing, session persistence and compression
Available as a software appliance, Profense can be installed on a physical server or as a VMware appliance.
Demand for Profense and web application firewalls generally has increased with the introduction of the PCI DSS section 6.6 requirements particularly v.1.2 [2] which made it clear that installation of a Web Application Firewall meeting the requirements will satisfy that section. Profense is fully PCI DSS section 6.6 v. 1.1 and 1.2 compliant and offers protection against all the OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities. Data privacy and integrity regulations and required security audits mandated by governmental and professional authorities, along with infections and damage caused by hackers, have also prompted increasing use of such security software [3].
Competitors include Imperva, F5 Networks, Barracuda, Breach and Check Point.
