FORTIWEB-1000B

FortiWeb-1000B is a web security appliance that provides web application and XML firewalls to protect, balance, and accelerate web applications, databases, and the information exchanged between them. The FortiWeb-1000B is designed for medium and large enterprises, SaaS providers and application service providers; and can drastically reduce the deployment time and complexities of introducing web-based applications. The FortiWeb-1000B applies Fortinet's industry-leading threat research to protect web-based applications, improving the security of confidential information and aiding in legislative and PCI compliance. FortiWeb goes beyond traditional web application firewalls to provide XML security enforcement, application acceleration, and server load balancing.

In addition to security, the FortiWeb-1000B leverages an intelligent, application-aware load-balancing engine to distribute traffic and route content across multiple web servers. This load balancing increases resource utilization, application stability, and server response times. Independent SSL and XML encryption processors, which increase transaction throughput and reduce processing requirements from web servers, provide additional acceleration for web application traffic. The FortiWeb-1000B platform goes beyond traditional web application firewall (WAF) web security devices to provide XML security enforcement, hardware-based application acceleration, and server load balancing to set new standards for the capabilities of a web security appliance.

• Web application firewall provides multiple protection layers to prevent attacks against vulnerable web applications: Application signatures, HTTP RFC compliance, auto-learn based violations, data leak prevention, and authentication capabilities.
• Web vulnerability scanner provides analysis of existing application vulnerabilities complementing web application firewall for PCI DSS.
• Web defacement protection monitors protected applications for any defacement and can automatically revert to stored version.
• XML firewall enforces properly formed and coded pages through XML IPS, schema validation, WSDL verification, XML expression limiting and other Fortinet-developed security technologies.
• Secures web applications and protects sensitive database content by blocking threats such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, buffer overflows, file inclusion, denial of service, cookie poisoning, and schema poisoning.
• Aides in PCI DSS 6.5 and 6.6 compliance by protecting against OWASP top 10 web application vulnerabilities, and uses web application firewall technology to block web-based attacks.
• Multiple deployment options to fit every environment and network design.
• Reduces deployment and management complexities by ensuring protection of all web applications regardless of code changes or additions.
• SSL and XML encryption co-processing accelerates transaction times, offloads encryption functions, and reduces web server processing requirements.
• Server load balancing and content-based routing increases application speeds, improves server resource utilization and stabilizes applications.
• Active/passive high availability support implements full configuration synchronization to ensure availability of applications.
