Cyberoam Web Application Firewall  Cyberoam Unified Threat Management appliances offer identity-based comprehensive security to organizations against blended threats - worms, viruses, malware, data loss, identity theft; threats over applications viz. Instant Messengers; threats over secure protocols viz. HTTPS; and more.  They also offer wireless security (WLAN) and 3G wireless broadband and analog modem support can be used as either Active or Backup WAN connection for business continuity.   Cyberoam integrates features like stateful inspection firewall, VPN, Gateway Anti-Virus and Anti- Spyware, Gateway Anti-Spam, Intrusion Prevention System, Content & Application Filtering, Web Application Filtering, Data Leakage Prevention, IM Management and Control, Layer 7 visibility, Bandwidth Management, Multiple Link Management, Cyberome Firewall  in hardware  form Comprehensive Reporting over a single platform.  Cyberoam has enhanced security by adding an 8th layer (User Identity) to the protocol stack. Advanced inspection provides L8 user-identity and L7 application detail in classifying traffic, enabling Administrators to apply access and bandwidth policies far beyond the controls that traditional UTMs support.  It thus offers security to organizations across layer 2 - layer 8, without compromising productivity and connectivity.   Cyberoam UTM appliances accelerate unified security by enabling single-point control of all its security features through a Web 2.0-based GUI. An extensible architecture and an ‗IPv6 Ready‘ Gold logo provide Cyberoam the readiness to deliver on future security requirements.  Cyberoam provides increased LAN security by providing separate port for connecting to the publicly accessible servers like Web server, Mail server, FTP server etc. hosted in DMZ which are visible to the external world and still have firewall protection.  Introduction  Application Security is equivalent to preventing exception either in its security policy, or in the underlying system vulnerabilities in its design, development, or deployment.

Generally, it is done by logging on administrator‘s account by means of SQL injections. The information on the Web site or Web page is often replaced with undesirable information. This damages the reputation of the organization, leaving Website‘s visitors with an impression that the Website may be insecure and hence turn them off in order to protect its own property.                          2.Buffer Overflow  Buffer overflow is the condition that occurs when the data transferred to a buffer via a program exceeds the storage capacity of that buffer and overflows into adjacent or other buffers, corrupting the data already contained in them.    Unauthorized users overwrite data that control the program execution by launching a buffer overflow attack. They hijack and control the program to execute the malicious code instead of actual process code.                  3.URL Parameter  Tampering Parameter Tampering is a type of Web-based attack in which certain query string parameter values of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) sent to a Web site are altered in order to obtain unauthorized information. By doing so, unauthorized users can access the database and retrieve and/or modify its contents.                      4.Cookie poisoning Cookie poisoning is modification of a cookie by an unauthorized person to gain access and control of the data within a cookie for malicious motives like theft of bank account details, etc.                          5.SQL Injection  A SQL injection attack is insertion or ―injection‖ of a malicious code (SQL query) in to user input variables, which are coupled with SQL commands and executed. The attacker then forces database to execute the harmful SQL code that could potentially ruin database tables or to retrieve valuable information from database.                         6.Cross Site Scripting  Cross-site scripting attacks are security vulnerability caused due to injection of malicious HTML tags or client side scripting code into HTML form fields of a Web page. On execution, this malicious script can access cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by the Web browser or may modify the information of the Web page.

A SQL injection attack is insertion or ―injection‖ of a malicious code (SQL query) in to user input variables, which are coupled with SQL commands and executed. The attacker then forces database to execute the harmful SQL code that could potentially ruin database tables or to retrieve valuable information from database.
