Securing Public Sector Applications: AWS WAF for Advanced Web Protection
Mitigating Cyber Threats and Ensuring Application Availability
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides data center and network architecture built to meet the most security stringent requirements. Public sector organizations are responsible for securing services built on this infrastructure, notably network traffic from remote networks. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) secures the application layer by protecting web-facing applications from automated and targeted attacks. Securing applications against these threats ensure application availability and minimizes the risk of an attack using an application as an entry point into the entire system.
Improve your security posture with a WAF
Learn how and where a WAF extends the security capabilities of a traditional firewall to stop 90% of the worst types of cyberattacks.
No More Ransom
The No More Ransom coalition was founded in 2016 by Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre, the Dutch police, and McAfee to address the rapid growth of ransomware and provide a central, public repository of knowledge and resources to help fight ransomware. AWS was approached by the project to provide hosting and security for www.nomoreransom.org along with maximum agility and flexibility. AWS integrated its native security with application security using Barracuda CloudGen WAF.
Within days of going live, the No More Ransom site came under attack, with Barracuda CloudGen WAF blocking more than 51,000 attacks ranging from standard DDoS attacks to more exotic and sophisticated attacks on portions of the infrastructure. To date the website continues to operate smoothly and has never been brought down by attackers.
No More Ransom is the best example of Public Private Partnership I have seen to date. The professionalism of these companies and their ability to deliver was integral to the success of the project.
