 AppShield
Sanctum's AppShield software provides
Automated Web Application Control and Security (AWACS). Sanctum's AppShield
software secures your site by blocking any type of application manipulation
through the web. When the system detects a potential act of Web Perversion against one of your applications, it 1) blocks the action and logs it, 2) alerts you
to who, when, and where and 3) sends a warning to the possible perpetrator that
the questionable behavior has been detected. AppShield keeps development focused
on product, and eBusiness focused on customer loyalty and its brand.
eBusiness Security
Internet-based
business depends on secure, real-time data and business
transactions to maintain a strong, healthy environment for the
business and the customer. In order to provide that secure
environment, businesses need to provide three levels of
protection. Until now, business has relied on firewalls to
protect the network and on encryption products to protect data
in transit, but this isn't enough. AppShield, the Internet
Application Security solution, addresses security at the most
important point of vulnerability: the application. Internet
applications require a new level of security to protect against
hacking attempts. AppShield provides that new level of security.
Its job is to protect against attempts to illegally enter
applications and cause damage. AppShield protects the
application and keeps developers focused on application
development, rather than on protection. AppShield also reports
back to the webmaster when and where an illegal attempt was
made, a valuable source of information for any company.
The "Secured by Sanctum" seal tells your customers that
their privacy and security is an important part of doing business
with your company.
What is Web Application Security?
Developers deal with
deadlines and time-to-market issues every day. Security is often
secondary to getting the product to market on time. Security
loopholes in an Internet application are a fact of life.
Software always has bugs. Internet business assets are exposed
to intruders through these common loopholes. The problem grows
with time, as applications are changed, improved, and integrated
with more third-party products. Intruders can:
- Gain access to private customer information
- Manipulate money
- Take sensitive business data
- Expose partners and trade secrets
- Impersonate a customer
- Deface the site
- Shut down the site
