Forum XWall is the industy's first web services firewall equipped with data authentication as well as XML intrusion prevention to actively protect against unauthorized access, XML viruses, data corruption and denial of web service attacks. Forum XWall ensures critical applications are appropriately accessible and continuously available by allowing network administrators to enforce perimeter policies that check the integrity of data and control access to exposed enterprise web services.
Today's network firewalls are blind to web services because ports 80 and 443 are open to HTTP traffic, allowing SOAP and XML messages to flow undetected into a company's internal network. The security challenge becomes even greater as hackers bury malicious commands and data within web services.
Only by decrypting the communications channel (e.g. Secure Sockets Layer sessions) and simultaneously checking the content of the messages can the network protect itself from hidden threats. Forum's web services firewall peers into the "XML packet" using a unique blend of threat detection and real-time preventative countermeasures.
Form XWall is also available as a 64-bit Appliance.
