Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of Etisalat Digital and a regional security advisor, has launched a cloud-delivered managed Advanced Web Application Firewall (AWAF) service that proactively improves the security posture for organisations relying on web-based applications.

 

The service offers customers uninterrupted access to leading cybersecurity technologies powered from in-country platforms with round-the-clock access to cybersecurity talent on a pay-as-you-go model. 

 

Using cutting-edge Web Application Firewall technology, it protects customers’ web-hosted applications from attacks, which target known and unknown exploits, without interrupting legitimate traffic, according to a company spokesperson.

 

Help AG CEO Stephan Berner said: “With more and more web applications moving to the cloud, customers are increasingly exposed to sophisticated attacks from hackers. Help AG’s Managed Advanced Web Application Firewall service enhances customers’ cybersecurity posture and offers them protection and an assurance of uninterrupted business applications.”

 

Berner added: “In-house security teams often struggle to keep pace with the organisation’s digital transformation mandates. They require the help of cybersecurity expertise to build application layer security measures to protect web applications. The service provides them with round-the-clock proactive defence, support and management, no matter where the end user is located.”-TradeArabia News Service
