Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is Application Security and why does my organisation need it ?
Application Security protects web applications and APIs from cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and unauthorised access. It helps prevent attackers from exploiting application weaknesses to steal sensitive data, compromise accounts, or disrupt critical business services.
2. What types of application attacks can be detected and blocked ?
Application Security can protect against threats including SQL injection (SQLi), cross-site scripting (XSS), remote code execution (RCE), API exploitation, malicious bots, credential stuffing, brute-force attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities, and other application-layer attacks.
3. What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) ?
A WAF protects web applications by inspecting inbound and outbound web traffic and blocking malicious requests before they reach the application. It can provide protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and support virtual patching without requiring immediate changes to application code.
4. Does Application Security also protect APIs ?
Yes. Application Security can monitor API traffic, enforce access-control policies, detect abnormal behaviour and potential data exposure, and protect APIs against injection attacks, unauthorised access, misuse, and exploitation.
5. Can Application Security protect cloud, on-premises, and hybrid applications ?
Yes. Application Security can protect applications deployed across public and private cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, as well as traditional web applications and modern APIs. Flexible deployment options include inline, transparent/bridge, cloud-based, and hybrid models.
6. What does Condition Zebra’s Managed Application Security add beyond WAF technology ?
Yes. Condition Zebra can complement network security technologies with managed security services, including 24/7 monitoring, threat analysis, proactive threat hunting, incident response, security configuration, policy management, performance monitoring, and centralised reporting.
