Did you know that only 48% of current internet traffic is human? That's right, more than half of internet traffic is currently generated by robots, divided between good and bad bots.

Customer data moves back and forth all the time, and although the forms of virtual interaction have diversified, security when protecting this data has not always been enough. Since companies are increasingly building cloud-based applications with SaaS, security must also evolve to keep pace with this modernization.

Web Application Firewalls, or WAFs, are a key component of modern web security. According to Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Incident Report, over 80% of attacks last year targeted web applications--an unsurprising statistic given the ever-increasing size of modern applications’ attack surface. However, not all WAFs are created equal. As both cyber attacks and web applications become more and more complex, WAFs must use increasingly sophisticated techniques to secure applications--and to ensure that protection does not come at the expense of performance.

Even as the pandemic wanes, ongoing changes to Internet use like 5G rollout, accelerated cloud migration, and the increased use of IoT devices are certain to impact cybersecurity and DDoS attack trends this year.

Our commitment to building a safer, more stable internet is a core value here at Azion. As our global dependence on a secure internet continues to increase, it becomes ever more critical that we safeguard against the many vulnerabilities that web infrastructure is riddled with.

The internet is a magical place. Well, okay, maybe not everything on the internet, but the internet itself, the fact that you can type example.com into a search engine and access a webpage with the exact information you were seeking.

The Zero Trust model was introduced in 2010 by Forrester Research. The approach can be summed up in a few words: trust no one, not even employees. Over the next decade, new cloud applications were born and cloud adoption accelerated. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Shopify, Workday, Atlassian, Square, DocuSign, Slack, Box and other must-have apps became a part of the corporate digital toolset.

We are pleased to announce that, as requested by many of our clients, we have improved the process for delivering Azion Origin Shield. The new functionality means that you can now automate the rule settings in your firewall to give access to your origin to specific IP addresses from our network only and block all other access.
