About SecureIIS Web Server Protection
SecureIIS web server security delivers integrated multi-layered Windows server protection. SecureIIS provides application layer protection via integration with the IIS platform as an ISAPI filter, protecting against known and unknown exploits, zero day attacks, and unauthorized web access.
SecureIIS operates within Microsoft IIS to actively inspect all incoming requests at each stage of data processing. This allows the technology to prevent potentially damaging network traffic from penetrating servers and compromising web-based applications, whether the traffic is encrypted or unencrypted.
This capability is critical because vulnerabilities in software applications are responsible for the vast majority of network security breaches and data loss. In particular, web-server applications like Microsoft IIS are consistently targeted because of the ease of application deployment and potential flaws inherent with coding and configuration mistakes.
Unlike network-layer protection products, an application-layer solution works within the application that it is protecting. SecureIIS inspects requests as they come in from the network layer, as they are passed up to the kernel, and at every level of processing in between. If at any point SecureIIS detects a possible attack, it can take over and prevent unauthorized access and/or damage to the web server and host applications.
