Web Application Protection (WAF)

In record time, Edge UOL implements cybersecurity tool to enhance protection for a banking client

A banking client faced cybersecurity challenges due to infrastructure vulnerabilities that exposed its applications to attacks. In response, it was critical to deploy a solution that would stop ongoing threats and safeguard the environment from future risks.

To address this, Edge UOL took a customized approach. Following a detailed analysis of the client’s existing infrastructure, the company implemented the Web Application Protection (WAF) solution in under four hours.

This swift action ensured that the client’s applications were effectively protected, halting cyber threats and restricting access based on geolocation and IP controls. As a result, the client reported improved operational security and confidence that their infrastructure was shielded from future threats.
