ControlScan, a leading provider of unified security and compliance solutions, announced today that it has enhanced and expanded its web security services for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The company’s latest set of solutions addresses the SMB’s need to effectively secure their website and other web applications while simplifying compliance efforts. With ControlScan Web Security Services, SMBs operate efficiently and safely while their customers enjoy an improved online experience.
Whether selling goods and services through e-commerce, providing information and self-service capabilities, or simply telling the world who they are and what they do, SMBs are making greater use of web applications to engage with customers online. Hackers are also capitalizing on this trend; according to the 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, web application attacks are on the rise, representing 35% of all breaches in 2013.
Secure, compliant technologies and processes are business critical for iTrip.net, a web-based company specializing in high-quality, hassle-free vacation rentals.
“Along with its obvious security and performance benefits, ControlScan’s web application firewall simplifies our compliance with the PCI DSS,” said Todd Morrison, iTrip.net co-founder. “For a small business like ours, that’s a huge time and cost saver.”
“Our newly refined Web Security Services offering reflects a significant amount of research to identify and deliver a solution set that best meets SMBs’ unique business needs,” said Jyothish Varma, senior director of security product strategy, ControlScan. “We’ve combined a Web Application Firewall, DDoS protection and content distribution capabilities to provide SMBs with both a shield and a turbocharger for their online sites.”
Delivered in partnership with Incapsula, an Imperva company, ControlScan Web Security Services include:
- An enterprise-grade, PCI-certified Web Application Firewall (WAF) that intelligently identifies and blocks internet bots and other malicious and unwanted site visitors;
- Robust Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection technology that operates at the network, protocol and application levels to prevent site lags and downtime in the face of DDoS attacks; and
- A global Content Distribution Network (CDN) for improved site performance and more efficient use of bandwidth.
ControlScan Web Security Services are implemented, maintained and monitored by ControlScan’s team of security experts, ensuring that the sensitive data many websites handle (e.g., payment information, patient information, end user credentials, contact information, etc.) is protected. In addition, there are no costly, up-front investments in hardware, because the services are activated with a simple DNS change.
“We’ve come to rely on ControlScan’s security and compliance services to protect our website and rapidly expanding e-commerce business,” said Tom Purdy, IT director for the North Carolina Bar Association. “The ControlScan team has gone above and beyond to help us maintain the integrity and usability of our website.”
