Solution Brief | AWS and CloudGuard AppSec

CloudGuard AppSec represents a new paradigm in application security. Leveraging machine learning and a patent-pending contextual

AI engine, CloudGuard learns how an application is typically used, profiles the user and the app content, and scores each request

accordingly. This approach has proven to eliminate false positives while maintaining the highest standards of application security. Easy

to deploy to production environments in a matter of hours, CloudGuard AppSec delivers application security that can keep up with

even the fastest DevOps team.

AppSec Powered by Contextual AI

The AI engine conducts a risk analysis of each

request and automatically adapts to changes

by continuously profiling the user, application,

and content.

Protect Applications as they Evolve

Analyzing each request in context and

assigning a risk score provide precise

prevention – eliminating false positives and

preventing OWASP Top 10 attacks and more.

Prevent Automated Attacks

Protect applications from sophisticated bots,

leveraging JavaScript injections to perform

client-side behavioral analysis (using biometric

activity, keystrokes, and more).

Stop Attacks Against APIs

Ensure that APIs are being used correctly with

automated validation using OpenAPI schema

files.

Benefits

CloudGuard AppSec provides automated web application and API security powered by AI and ML engines, providing maximum security

with minimal administration.

Applications drive business. As they evolve and grow, more APIs are exposed, which expands the attack surface. Cyber criminals attack

web applications and APIs using methods such as SQL injection and automatic scripts, known as bots. These attacks are damaging and

costly. Unfortunately, existing application security technologies, such as web application firewalls (WAFs) rely on outdated techniques

such as threat signature mapping. These approaches often generate unacceptably high false positive rates—WAFs just can’t keep up.

Contextual Score-Based Decision Engine

By examining several parameters in detail and combining them to form an accurate risk score,

CloudGuard AppSec eliminates false positives. A final risk score is determined with input from multiple

engines including transaction risk, user behavior risk, crowd behavior risk, and content risk. Combining

the risk analysis of multiple engines results in a more accurate decision, with understanding of the

context. It allows security admins to operate comfortably in Prevent Mode, without the worry of

blocking legitimate requests.

The Confidence to Run Application Security in Production

Unfortunately, many application security products are only deployed in monitoring mode or passive

mode because their users get too many false positives. Not CloudGuard AppSec: 90% of customers run

the solution in prevent mode with the accuracy needed to reduce operational overhead by providing a

high level of threat prevention precision. Most customers run CloudGuard AppSec out-of-the box with

fewer than 10 exception rules.

The Burden of Maintenance

The security team was burdened by

maintaining security policies as well as

old deployment models in their legacy

application security product. They

wanted to have all of their cloud assets

and security products managed and

deployed in the same way.

Deployed Everywhere

at Scale

Using AWS auto-scaled instances, the

organization runs containers managed

by external systems. CloudGuard

AppSec integrated into both systems

perfectly, running as a container that

can be auto-scaled in any environment.

Continuous Security

The organization’s developers

constantly change and update their

applications. CloudGuard AppSec

automatically adapts to these changes

and requires significantly less

maintenance than their previous

application security solution.
