Mykonos Updates Its Security Appliance
Company says it is looking at Web app security “differently,” working to identify the individuals at the heart of security threats.
Web app security technology developer Mykonos Software has released a new version of its flagship Mykonos Security Appliance product.
The Mykonos Security Appliance prevents malicious automation abuse, data theft, and fraudulent transactions from occurring through vulnerabilities in Web applications. The software is geared toward SMBs with significant Web properties, such as e-commerce sites, SaaS offerings, and online service offerings.
According to Mykonos, its latest Security Appliance features three key features: 1) Web application introspection, 2)† policy-based countermeasures, and 3) attack identifiers (not just IP addresses, but the actual attacker).
“We are looking at security differently,” explains Mykonos director of product management Al Huizenga. “If an attacker can abuse a Web application in hundreds of different ways, we want them to have to worry about thousands of different defenses. Before, they only needed to find a single vulnerability to begin an attack. Now, if they make one mistake, and exploit the wrong vulnerability, they identify themselves and we can stop the attack before it begins.
