Fortra Announces Managed Web Application Firewall to Protect Critical Web Apps and APIs from Compromise
May 2023 by Marc Jacob
Global cybersecurity software and services provider Fortra announced an enhanced Managed Web Application Firewall (WAF) service. Provided by Fortra’s Alert Logic business, the service combines the advanced tools and security expertise organizations need to protect critical web apps and APIs from compromise.
A web application firewall prevents threat actors from gaining access to an organization’s network or impacting their operations. Fortra’s Managed WAF inspects web traffic against curated security policies to continuously identify and block malicious exploits from known and unknown threats.
Fortra’s security experts partner with customers to understand their business context and applications, creating tailored web security profiles informed by machine learning and threat intelligence gathered from Fortra sources.
Previously only available as an optional add-on for Fortra’s Alert Logic Managed Detection and Response customers, the Fortra Managed WAF is now a standalone managed service.
