United Security Providers AG, a Swiss provider of cyber security solutions, announces the launch of its new Core WAAP solution. The new product has been specially developed for modern IT environments with distributed architectures and microservices.
Bern, 15 November 2024 – The new Core WAAP (Web Application & API Protection) solution from United Security Providers AG is a powerful, workload-based cybersecurity solution that protects web applications and APIs (programming interfaces) in modern, cloud-based and containerized IT environments. Thanks to its deep integration into Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines, Core WAAP offers the perfect combination of agility and security.
“With Core WAAP, we are introducing a product that meets the challenges of modern IT architectures,” explains Danilo Siscaro, Product Manager at United Security Providers. “This comprehensive, scalable and application-centric security solution can be seamlessly integrated into Kubernetes environments and strengthens modern SecDevOps processes. Core WAAP enables proactive ‘shift-left security’ that integrates security efficiently and early into application development and deployment.
Traditional security approaches are reaching their limits
Traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) are designed for monolithic applications and focus mainly on north-south data traffic to defend against external threats. They are increasingly reaching their limits as microservices and container-based applications as well as new interfaces and distributed architectures offer an expanded attack surface.
A revolutionary security approach for modern IT requirements
With Core WAAP, United Security Providers presents a new security solution that is specially tailored to the requirements of modern IT environments. The container-based approach enables complete transparency and control over all data traffic – both north-south and east-west. Core WAAP combines the strengths of positive and negative security models with machine learning to continuously automate security checks and configurations and provide protection against the top 10 OWASP threats.
The solution can be seamlessly integrated into agile development processes and supports DevOps teams with a high level of flexibility and efficiency. Developers and application managers remain in their familiar tools without interrupting the workflow. The comprehensive Kubernetes integration supports the implementation of zero-trust strategies and thus meets the cyber security requirements of modern cloud-native and containerized environments without compromising agility.
