Cloudbric is a software as a service, security as a service, designed to protect websites from malicious intents. It is intended to protect against web hacking including SQL Injection, Cross-site scripting, identity theft, website defacement and application layer DDoS attack. The company is based in Houston, Texas. It offers free web security services for small and medium-sized enterprises, charging based on website traffic rather than services offered, allowing small and starting websites to access all services for free.
Company Overview
Founded by Jaeson Yoo in 2014, Penta Security Systems Co. (USA) provides web application security products to more than 2,900 firms including the government, large enterprises, small and medium businesses, educational and financial organizations. Penta Security Systems Co. has 18 years of background service in web security thanks to Penta Security Systems Inc. (KR), which has accumulated valuable experience while serving firms and institutions in the advanced and fiercely competitive APAC market.
Thanks to the trust earned from customers, Penta Security Systems Co. has grown very rapidly during 18 years in business, maintaining unmatched market shares in many areas of information security. Penta Security Systems Co.’s products include Cloudbric, WAPPLES (a web application firewall; appliance and virtual versions available), D’Amo (a database encryption solution), ISSAC-Web and I-Sign Plus (PKI encryption products). Penta Security Systems Co. is the best vendor for web application firewall and database encryption products, and seeks to expand their presence globally with the mission of spreading “positive influence” by protecting information transmitted through computer technology.
Industry issues
With the rising popularity of the web, companies have gone online. Services including Internet banking and financial transactions, resident registration card issuances, as well as customer service platforms are all available as web services. These websites and mobile apps are all made of web apps. As a result, application layer is often the pathway to companies' invaluable assets. Cyber criminals have shifted their attention accordingly, to the application layer, of which many security administrators still fail to secure. Most security solution enterprises are built around the network layer, not application layer. Over 70% of all vulnerabilities are at the web application layer.
Web Application Firewall
A web application firewall (WAF) detects and blocks the attacks to a web site and prevents manipulation of web sites. In addition, it protects assets by preventing information leakage through web attacks.
Product Features
Instead of using a signature-based pattern-matching method like that of other website protection services, Cloudbric has adopted the Logic Analysis Engine. This detection method is patented in South Korea, Japan, China (pending) and the U.S.(pending). Low false positive rate is what separates Cloudbric from other market players.
The official IT certification lab Tolly Group research institute rated WAPPLES considerably higher than a widely deployed competing product. WAPPLES is the physical hardware geared with COCEP technology. The Tolly group's evaluation was based on effectiveness, performance and functionality of web application firewall.
OWASP Top 10 Protection
Cloudbric provides website shields from the ten most dangerous exploits, as identified annually by the Open Web Application Security Project . The OWASP Top Ten represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are.
Logic Analysis Engine
Cloudbric has adopted the patented Logic Analysis Engine, which understands the context of HTTP and its full transactions. By understanding these transactions, even if the attack scheme has no known signature-based patterns, Cloudbric can recognize malicious intent. Cloudbric’s self-learning engine detects both known and unknown attacks with logical algorithms. It not only has a higher accuracy rate, but also doesn’t downgrade website performance.
PCI-Certified Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Cloudbric’s Web Application Firewall(WAF) is certified by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. It delivers cost-effective compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirement 6.6 without any hardware or software installation and without changes to the user's web application.
Cloudbric protects users from liabilities and non-compliance penalties, while protecting customers’ sensitive data from exposure on the site. The PCI compliance report audits security rules configuration changes and periodically reports on the user's compliance with PCI 6.6 requirements.
