ThreatSentry is a multi-layered Web Application Firewall that protects Microsoft Windows Web servers from a broad range of web application threats including Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF), Structured Query Language (SQL) Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and other attacks. ThreatSentry combines an advanced web application firewall, a proprietary NDIS driver, and an AI-based intrusion prevention engine to identify and take action against known and new threats as well as activity falling outside of trusted parameters. ThreatSentry also fulfills the web application layer firewall (WAF) requirement in PCI DSS 6.6 and aids in the web application code review process by revealing vulnerabilities embedded within software code.

"In an interconnected world threats have no boundaries and security has to remain a prime requirement," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief of Info Security Products Guide. "We are pleased to honor ThreatSentry as winner for 2009."

ThreatSentry's pre-configured attack filters and optimized out-of-box application settings ensure immediate server and web application protection. Extensive customization options enable systems administrators and other IT and compliance staff to easily implement custom-tailored solutions relative to their specific business needs.
