Cloud application security suite protects against DDoS and other attacks

Moving business applications to the cloud doesn't remove the need for securing them, in fact it potentially makes them more vulnerable.

Cloud application delivery service Instart Logic has announced a new Security Suite offering customers multi-layered protection against DDoS attacks and other cybersecurity threats.

It builds on the company's software defined application delivery (SDAD) platform, a software-based architectural approach that provides control, extensibility and performance.

Features of the suite include a secure ProxyWall that combines web application firewall capabilities with origin protection. It inspects plain text and SSL traffic and can issue alerts, set rate limits or block malicious traffic, designated user agents or IP addresses. ProxyWall also protects the origin server from non-HTTP(s) traffic and transmits 'clean' traffic from a dedicated connection to the Instart Logic cloud.

In addition the suite offers DDoS protection that absorbs denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. It has PCI DSS Level-1 compliance too so it can provides a dedicated environment for carrying out financial transactions.

"Instart Logic uses the same open source web application firewall engine and rule set for its Security Suite that are standard in the application delivery market," says Peter Blum, vice president of product management at Instart Logic. "What sets us apart is our patented SDAD platform, which delivers unmatched application performance -- especially over wireless networks. Now, customers don't have to choose between speed and security".

The Instart Logic security suite is available now, for more information visit the company's website.
