Common Active Defenses

There are a few ways that organizations defend public-facing applications:

  • Web Application Firewalls (WAF) provide a front-level defense for web applications.
  • Runtime Application Self Protection provides a code API defense
  • DoS Prevention defends against network-level denial of service attacks that attempt to overload applications. Some organizations use load balancers, WAFs, and content delivery networks (CDN) for similar actions.
