Evolution of the distribution of information through electronically way recorded exponential growth in recent years. Web content from their Web 2.0 evolutionary step, provide a new paradigm of information exchange, as well as new technical and business risks.
It's not just web traffic, classify or decide whether it is legitimate or not, without the help of specialized algorithms and devices capable of analyzing the context of traffic, for "understanding" the application protocol. In this sense, producers of devices and applications for the control of the most popular Internet protocols, are facing a difficult task - to provide communication without compromising the performance of the communication parties.
Whether you're using applications or software solutions up properly on the servers of general purpose or highly specialized modules or hardware platform, whose only goal is control of this protocol, it is a complex system whose effectiveness greatly depends on the skills of staff who set and maintaine them.
Any such system is only as good as a good is a professional engineer who supervise and manage them.
Malicious java scripts, buffer overflows on web servers identified in various operating systems, manipulation of stored passwords and cookies (identity theft), access to pornographic content or that promote hatred and intolerance, the page which are trying from your browser without authorization get information about you, control types files that are removed from the individual pages, social networks and operations that are permitted within them, are examples of threats that modern products have, as much as possible identify and limit or eliminate their destructiveness.
One of the competing options for addressing these threats are certainly a specialized service modules for the Cisco firewall family. In this way beside the firewall of "general purpose" users can use skolovski module specialized for the analysis and prevention of unwanted web traffic with a wide range of options allowing for that particular user, or group of users, where and how to record suspicious transactions and to send alerts and to draw attention on the risks
In addition, Storm Computers has the experience in open source software solutions that perform these tasks on the server (non-specialized) platforms. Such solutions, regardless of the type of implementation, provide centralized control over content and transactions within the web traffic and report on the details of these transactions, giving companies access to the profile of traffic and users that may be a risk factor, suggesting measures to reduce risks rising from those.
