Public Internet is brutal. It is essential to have a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and powerful Content Delivery Network (CDN) capabilities to protect your Web applications and Web sites. But what vendor shall we choose and why?
公共互联网是残酷的。 拥有Web应用程序防火墙(WAF)和强大的内容交付网络(CDN)功能来保护您的Web应用程序和网站至关重要。 但是我们应该选择哪个供应商,为什么呢?
The average cost of a data breach has risen to $3.92 million. Reports show a 1.6% increase in costs in 2018 and a 12% rise over the last five years. Fines for violating the regulation can range from up to €20 million ($22.5 million) to 4 per cent of a company annual global revenue — whichever is greater.
数据泄露的平均成本已上升到392万美元。 报告显示,2018年成本增长1.6%,过去五年增长12%。 违反该法规的罚款最高可达2000万欧元(2250万美元),占公司全球年度收入的4%,以金额较大者为准。
Globally, just under 30% of organizations are likely to suffer at least one breach over the next 24 months. U.S. organizations face the highest costs with an average of $8.19 million per breach, driven by a complex regulatory landscape that can vary from state-to-state, especially when it comes to breach notification. In the UK the figure is slightly lower than the global average, at $3.88 million. The size of the average data breach is now 25,575 records, an increase of 3.9% compared to 2018. The average breach size in the U.S. is higher at 32,434 and slightly lower in the UK at 23,600 (both figures up over 2018). Each record lost costs around $150 on average globally; in the U.S. that figure rises to $242 while in the UK the cost is $155 per record. While the loss of thousands of records at a time is becoming common, Equifax-level breaches involving millions of records are still relatively rare. A “mega-breach” of 1 million records could cost a company $42 million — up from $40 million last year — while the loss of 50 million records might cost a company $388 million.
在全球范围内,在接下来的24个月中,将近30%的组织可能遭受至少一次违规。 美国组织面临的最高成本是每次违规平均819万美元,这是由于各州之间复杂的监管环境(尤其是涉及违规通知)的驱动。 在英国,这一数字略低于全球平均水平,为388万美元。 现在,平均数据泄露量为25,575条记录,与2018年相比增长3.9%。美国的平均数据泄露量更高,为32,434条,英国的平均数据泄露量为23,600次(均比2018年高)。 全球每条记录的损失成本平均约为150美元; 在美国,这一数字升至242美元,而在英国,每条唱片的成本为155美元。 尽管一次丢失成千上万的记录变得很普遍,但是涉及数百万条记录的Equifax级违反仍然相对罕见。 100万条记录的“大破坏”可能会使公司损失4200万美元(去年为4000万美元),而丢失5000万条记录可能使公司损失3.88亿美元。
On the other hand, the prices of Attack services are becoming very low.
另一方面, 攻击服务的价格变得非常低。
For example, for $327 per week, bad actors can perform a DDoS attack on your Web application paralysing your business costing you thousands or millions.
例如,以每周327美元的价格,不良行为者可以对您的Web应用程序执行DDoS攻击,使您的业务瘫痪,使您损失成千上万。
Executives start getting these messages. Companies start setting better security practices. The penalties significantly outweigh savings from inaction.
高管们开始得到这些信息。 公司开始设定更好的安全措施。 罚款远远超过了无所作为带来的节省。
One of the most effective ways to protect your Web applications is to introduce Proactive Defense mechanisms. Proactive Defence infrastructure “predicts” cyberattacks before it happens and mitigates in real-time. Modern cyberattacks are sophisticated and massive. For example, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted service by overwhelming the target with a flood of Internet traffic. A DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up with highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination. Unlike other types of cyberattacks, DDoS attack defence requires extensive infrastructure that can absorb malicious traffic while letting regular traffic through.
保护Web应用程序最有效的方法之一就是引入主动防御机制。 主动防御基础架构可以在网络攻击发生之前“预测”并实时缓解。 现代网络攻击既复杂又庞大。 例如,分布式拒绝服务(DDoS)攻击是一种恶意尝试,目的是通过大量Internet流量淹没目标来破坏目标服务的正常流量。 DDoS攻击就像是交通拥堵,高速公路阻塞,阻止常规流量到达其期望的目的地。 与其他类型的网络攻击不同,DDoS攻击防御需要广泛的基础结构,这些基础结构可以吸收恶意流量,同时让常规流量通过。
Other types of cyberattacks include sending maliciously-formed requests with the expectation to disrupt Business services. Many attack types can be detected in real-time by Web Application Firewalls (WAF). WAF analyses the incoming traffic and automatically blocks undesired communications.
其他类型的网络攻击包括发送恶意形式的请求,以期破坏业务服务。 Web应用程序防火墙(WAF)可以实时检测许多攻击类型。 WAF分析传入的流量并自动阻止不需要的通信。
There are hundreds of Security software and hardware solutions on the market. This post is about modern cloud web applications and therefore, we shall analyse only modern cloud platforms capable to protect from enormous DDoS attacks. We shall go through four major players on the market.
市场上有数百种安全软件和硬件解决方案。 这篇文章是关于现代云Web应用程序的,因此,我们将仅分析能够保护免受大规模DDoS攻击的现代云平台。 我们将介绍市场上的四个主要参与者。
微软Azure (Microsoft Azure)
The Microsoft Azure solution has a rich set of functionality that is built from various Azure components. Building and deploying multiple components may bring higher costs and may be prone to errors and misconfigurations. Ongoing support may also require more advanced Security Operations knowledge and skills. Azure DDoS protection service provides defence against DDoS attacks. There are two options: Basic DDoS that comes at no extra costs, and Standard, a paid option, which can provide better services, access to logs, monitoring, L7 protection via WAF.
Microsoft Azure解决方案具有从各种Azure组件构建的丰富功能集。 构建和部署多个组件可能会带来更高的成本,并且容易出错和配置错误。 持续的支持可能还需要更高级的Security Operations知识和技能。 Azure DDoS保护服务可防御DDoS攻击。 有两种选择:免费提供基本DDoS,而付费选项Standard则可以提供更好的服务,对日志的访问,监视以及通过WAF的L7保护。
Azure Application Gateway with WAF is a web traffic load balancer that manages Web Applications traffic while providing the centralised protection of web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities. A centralised WAF helps make security management much simpler and gives better assurance to application administrators against threats or intrusions. A WAF solution can also react to a security threat faster by patching a known vulnerability at a central location versus securing each of individual web applications.
带有WAF的Azure应用程序网关是一个Web通信量负载平衡器,它可以管理Web应用程序通信,同时集中保护Web应用程序免受常见漏洞和漏洞的侵害。 集中式WAF可以使安全管理更加简单,并为应用程序管理员提供更好的保证,使其免受威胁或入侵。 通过在中央位置修补已知漏洞而不是保护每个单独的Web应用程序,WAF解决方案还可以更快地对安全威胁做出React。
云耀斑 (Cloudflare)
