PCI Requirements: Application
FW vs Code Review
Datasheet
Imperva Solutions for PCI
Working from predefined criteria an application firewall sits on the network and dynamically profiles the URL structures and parameters of the web applications that it is monitoring. Once the web application is learned, an acceptable usage policy is created and enforced in real-time. The policy defines all allowed/known behaviours and immediately tracks and/or blocks all suspicious/undefined behaviours that do not conform to the usage policy.
While all WAF's are specifically designed to protect
web applications, some
can offer some of the same functionality as perimeter firewalls, IDS/IPS and
database assessment and auditing tools.
