Top 10 Web Application Security Solutions

A web application security solution that aims to protect companies from any attempt to exploit code vulnerabilities in their applications.

Let's take a look at the top 10 solutions to secure web applications and keep your business running.

Cloudflare

With Cloudflare's intuitive interface, users can quickly identify and investigate security risks, stopping any potential cyber threats.

Its custom firewall rules protect your website and APIs from malicious traffic, while the activity log helps you fine-tune your security settings.

Also, monitor and prevent the use of stolen or exposed credentials that could allow attackers to access your accounts. Cloudflare's offerings also include a web application firewall and DDoS protection.

Perimeter 81

Perimeter 81's Zero Trust Application Access provides fully audited access to on-premises cloud environments, applications and web services, improving their security and monitoring.

After the user logs in, it will list all the apps they have access to. You can assign them different levels of access depending on their role. In addition, Perimeter 81 also encrypts all stored information and filters outbound traffic.

If you want to know if your company's confidential information has been compromised, NordPass for Business's data breach scanner will help you identify any information leaks. In addition, its password health feature helps prevent security threats by detecting weak, reused, or obsolete passwords in the enterprise.

StackHawk

StackHawk scans your applications, services, and APIs for security vulnerabilities in open source code or components. It is highly efficient in finding and fixing bugs, allowing developers on your team to reproduce the issue causing the vulnerability by simply copying the cURL command.

Thanks for the extensive list MakendranG. After reading the list, it feels a bit out of reach for me. As a software engineer I find it difficult to decide which platforms to try, what can be implemented and what could bring the most benefits.
Have you checked this roadmap by cloudflare? I think it's a more effective approach as it lists the steps to take and the complexity.
If you mix your extensive list and reaserch with that roadmap you could get a great guide or even ebook 😁
