AppShield Appliance
Never before has the need for application security been so obvious - or urgent.
The Gartner Group estimates that approximately 75% of all attacks are occurring
at the application level. The 2001 Computer Crime and Security Survey published
by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI reported that the average cost
of security related losses was $2 million per company responding to their survey.
Hackers are increasingly active and sophisticated about how they choose and target their victims,
employing automated scanners and tools to compromise sensitive and valuable information.
Today, comprehensive application security is necessary to safely secure enterprise
and service provider applications from the wide range of attacks possible and
their effects on an enterprise. However, selecting, configuring, deploying, and
integrating a complete application security solution that integrates with your existing
network security architecture can be a daunting proposition. Sun and Sanctum have
joined forces to bring the power and security of Sun servers running a hardened version
of the Solaris� Operating Environment with the leading web application firewall,
AppShield�, in the iForce� Perimeter Security Solution. Working together, the
iForce� Perimeter Security Solution provides complete application protection utilizing Sun�s expertise
in configuring, testing, and integrating the tools� functions to work together to provide
a state-of-the-art security solution.

Companies can effectively secure network resources and respond
faster by having a single view to multiple security threats by
deploying this pre-integrated and validated solution built by
security architects to integrate multiple best of breed security applications.
Sanctum's AppShield� is the Web application protection layer of
Sun's multi-layered iForce Perimeter Security Solution. AppShield prevents
by providing the first line of defense against the misuse and
illegal behavior against a Web site, detects intruders and other
worms that pass through the firewall or as internal attacks
behind the firewall, and responds, once an intrusion is detected,
by blocking and logging the attack, then alerting
the administrator of the breach.
The AppShield appliance, a critical component of Sun�s iForce� Perimeter Security
Solution platform, provides complete application level protection and addresses key
customer requirements in the area of deployment and management within an enterprise
environment. As a single, integrated defense system, the AppShield appliance helps
companies quickly deploy multi-layered security to protect their vital business
information and networks against malicious attack and corruption.
AppShield has been integrated and tested in Sun's iForce Solution Center, verifying
seamless operation with each component of the iForce Perimeter Security solution.
The solution's rack-optimized platform simplifies deployment, helping enterprises
to immediately realize the benefits of reduced administration costs
and increased protection of their digital assets. Finally, AppShield is a key
component of Sun's Secure Web Server Solution that ensures the security of
the Web environment. AppShield is the recommended web application firewall
that complements and enhances Sun's SunOne Server, SunOne ASP, Solaris Toolkit,
SunFire Servers and Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000 card.
