Protecting Web applications is as crucial as guarding static content. After all, compromised Web applications could generate corrupted dynamic content—such as altered pricing, fraudulent bank account balances, or even faulty part numbers from your supply chain management systems—potentially ruining your business. The challenge for Web site security is that, until now, no product could protect and monitor HTTP and HTTPS traffic, as well as stop Web applications before corrupted transactions have executed. Gilian offers a solution with G-AppPROTECT™ and G-AppWATCH™, two unique technology features that provide unprecedented Web application protection at both the entrance and exit points of your Web servers.

G-AppPROTECT™: Proactive Entrance Protection
Your network firewall has to leave ports 80 and 443 open or you essentially have no Web server. However, few corporate Web sites have any device to monitor these always-open ports for malicious attacks. Gilian’s G-AppPROTECT technology complements the proven ExitControl™ protection mechanism by offering countermeasures for protocol attacks, non-session related application attacks and integrity attacks. By providing this level of HTTP hardening, the G-Server prevents buffer overflow, protocol piggybacking, and data encoding, including even worm-style attacks such as Code Red and Nimda—which comprise over 95 percent of all Web site attacks—stopping them before they reach the Web server.

G-AppWATCH™: Guaranteed Web Application Integrity
Based on ExitControl™, a concept that Gilian pioneered to ensure changes are made only by authorized persons—G-AppWATCH identifies and stops corrupted Web applications and scripts before they can execute if altered by anyone other than a legitimate source. This powerful feature not only protects the Web server and related applications, it prevents the protected applications from causing further damage to the internal corporate network infrastructure.
