Flexibility To Adapt To Changing Business Requirements
NetScaler AppFirewall permits flexible, stepwise deployment of web application protection. The default web application protection profile defends against the most common dangerous threats and adds full protection against both data theft and Layer-4 through Layer-7 DDoS attacks. The advanced web application protection profile adds session-aware protections to protect dynamic elements, such as cookies, form fields and session-specific URLs. Attacks that target the trust between the client and server including cross—site request forgery are stopped; requests are validated by checking for a unique ID inserted by NetScaler. Citrix NetScaler ADC enforces both positive and negative security models to ensure correct application behavior. Such protection is imperative for any application that processes user-specific content, such as an e-commerce site. To make sure these security measures are compatible with any application, Citrix NetScaler AppFirewall learning capabilities help the administrator create managed exceptions and relaxations when the application’s intended — and legal behavior might otherwise cause a violation of the default security policy.
Citrix NetScaler AppFirewall — Defeating XML Threats
In addition to detecting and blocking common application threats that can be adapted for attacking XML-based applications (i.e. cross-site scripting, command injection, etc.), Citrix AppFirewall includes a rich set of XML-specific security protections. These include schema validation to thoroughly verify SOAP messages and XML payloads, and a powerful XML attachment check to block attachments containing malicious executables or viruses. Automatic traffic inspection methods block XPath injection attacks on URLs and forms aimed at gaining access. Citrix NetScaler AppFirewall also thwarts a variety of DoS attacks, including external entity references, recursive expansion, excessive nesting and malicious messages containing either long or a large number of attributes and elements. In addition, Citrix NetScaler ADC prevents the inadvertent leakage or theft of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or custom-defined data objects, by either removing or masking content from application responses — before being publicly disclosed. Delivers PCI DSS v.3.1 compliance.
PCI Compliance And Auditing
With payment card fraud at an all-time high, secure payment card standards have never been more crucial. Yet since the adoption of version 3.0 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), organizations have been struggling to meet its hundreds of requirements. And even full compliance with these standards may not protect networks from advanced cyber threats. Citrix has a powerful yet affordable solution. Citrix NetScaler ADC aids corporate IT security teams in conforming to governmental privacy regulations and industry mandates. For example, organizations subject to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements can now fully meet the requirements detailed in PCI DSS Section 6.6, which mandates the installation of web application firewall in front of public facing applications as one method of maintaining a proper security posture. Protects credit and debit card account numbers to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
