Armorlogic Profense Web Application Firewall

摘要

The Profense Web Application Firewall from Armorlogic provides solid protection of web applications by creating a reverse proxy in which all traffic is filtered through the appliance before being sent to the application servers. This firewall is capable of whitelisting, blacklisting and adaptive learning, and can protect many types of web-based services, including XML, SOAP and JSON. This solution comes in two flavors. It can be deployed either as a physical or virtual appliance on VMware ESX. We found deployment and installation to be quite straightforward and had the virtual appliance up in no time at all. Configuration was also fairly easy. All of it is done via the web-based management interface, which is intuitively organized and easy to navigate.
