Citrix is excited to announce the introduction of Citrix® Web App and API Protection™ service. This new cloud service offers a simple way to provide holistic protection from cyber threats and enables a consistent security posture across multi-cloud.
Citrix Web App and API Protection service offers the following benefits to customers:
- Holistic, layered protection
- Ease of deployment and management
- Predictable subscription model
- Consistent security posture for multi-cloud compliance and governance
Comprehensive, Holistic, Layered Protection as a Service
Citrix brings decades of experience to application security with Citrix Web App Firewall deployed across many thousands of customers. Citrix Web App and API Protection builds on this and makes holistic application security available as a cloud-delivered service.
A full-featured WAF with both positive and negative security models allows more application-specific security to be defined to safeguard against zero-day attacks — including the OWASP Top 10 most critical security risks (e.g. SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting attacks), signatures, and behavior-based learned rules.
The Citrix DDoS solution is an always-on volumetric DDoS service. It features one of the world’s largest scrubbing networks with 12 Tbps capacity that will protect applications from large DDoS attacks.
Ease of Deployment and Management
As a cloud service, Citrix Web App and API Protection enables customers to secure their applications quickly, wherever they are deployed — without added infrastructure and operational complexity. Customers need not worry about upgrades or patches; Citrix will ensure its latest generally available protections are automatically available.
Simple point-and-click dashboards make it easy to configure rules and policies and adjust them as application security requirements change.
Consistent Security Posture for Multi-Cloud Compliance and Governance
Deploying applications across multiple cloud providers can lead to different policies and fragmented protection. Citrix Web App and API Protection service with intuitive dashboards helps to reduce security configuration errors and simplifies visibility and governance across customer environments. Citrix Web App and API Protection service is designed to help customers maintain compliance across their multi-cloud regardless of the application type or where it is deployed.
Predictable Cloud Subscription Model
With simple annual subscriptions available, Citrix Web App and API Protection service removes the need for large CAPEX spends on security. The new service has simple billing metrics — applications and throughput — that keep the service charges transparent, with no surprises. Customers can buy capacity from 25 Mbps to 2+ Gbps in easy steps.
Citrix Web App and API Protection service provides comprehensive protection and a consistent security posture to applications whether they are deployed on premises or in the cloud. Delivered from the cloud, the service is easy to use, and its simple metering reduces CAPEX and lowers the TCO.
