In an era where cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving, protecting websites and web applications is crucial for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their clients. Exium's unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions offer a robust framework to safeguard digital assets against sophisticated cyber threats. By leveraging Exium, websites and web applications benefit from advanced protection without being directly exposed to the public Internet, thus significantly reducing the attack surface.
¶ Multi-Layered Security with Exium’s SASE CyberMesh
Exium enhances security by placing websites and apps behind multiple defensive layers, a strategy facilitated by the SASE CyberMesh. This comprehensive approach includes:
¶ Layer 7 Attack Detection and Prevention:
Protect against prevalent application-layer attacks such as SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Local File Include (LFI), which together form over 90% of known Layer 7 threats. Moreover, defenses extend to combating Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Remote File Include (RFI), Remote Code Execution (RCE), HTTP protocol violations, and other common vulnerabilities through custom regex rules.
¶ Network Layer Defense:
Utilizing a behavior detection engine integrated with a firewall and a global IP reputation network, Exium identifies and neutralizes threats at the IP Network Layer. Techniques like firewall blocks, nginx http 403 responses, and CAPTCHA challenges serve as deterrents at the initial point of contact.
Exium actively checks IP addresses against databases of known malicious entities, blocking those on denylists in real-time to prevent unauthorized access. To enhance performance, lookup results are cached for up to 24 hours. Moreover, Exium operates its own honeypots, capturing malicious IPs and contributing to global databases.
¶ Prevention of Targeted Attacks
By concealing IP addresses and domain names from the public, Exium significantly lowers the risk of targeted attacks on cloud and hosted applications. This strategy ensures that attackers cannot easily pinpoint or infiltrate specific assets, adding an essential layer of security for critical online resources.
¶ Comprehensive Audit Logging
For increased transparency and control, Exium provides detailed logs of all web transactions, including specifics of requests and responses, along with the corresponding activated security rules. These logs are essential for auditing purposes and can be transmitted remotely via syslog for centralized archival and analysis.
In conclusion, Exium’s integration of SASE and XDR technologies delivers a formidable defense against a wide spectrum of cybersecurity threats. MSPs and their clients can be assured of enhanced protection for their websites and web applications, allowing them to focus on business growth with peace of mind about their cyber defense posture.
