Integrity, Availability, Security
Enterprise applications (web and legacy) represent the lifeblood of any companies. They are the touching points with customers, employees, and business partners. As network security breaches become more sophisticated and profit-seeking in nature, critical applications are the main targets for security offenders both from outside and inside the companies. Bayshore's SingleKey and SingleTone identity-aware application protection platform are giving CIOs and CSOs peace of mind that their applications will always remain uncompromised, available, and secure.
Audit and Compliance/ PCI DSS
Enterprises today spend several billion dollars a year in meeting audit and compliance requirements. For e-retailing organizations, compliance with Payment Card Information Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) remains a major challenge. Currently, businesses that must comply with the PCI-DSS have moved toward periodic software code audits, vulnerability assessment, and Web-only application firewalls. But much more is needed to automatically protect all deployed applications, and all network data pathways that may provide access to sensitive information. True Layer-7 protection from Bayshore recognizes, reports on, and selectively blocks all data-access attempts that contain active threats, inadvertent software errors, and unauthorized actions.
Regulatory Compliance
Just like e-retailers, other industries are coping with an increasingly regulated environment for security compliance – HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) for health care companies, GLB (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) for financial services companies, SOX (Sarbanes–Oxley Act) for all publicly traded companies. Layer 7 protection from Bayshore can ensure compliance with the respective government regulations and the integrity and availability of mission-critical applications.
Capturing growth in government security spending
By one estimate, governments around the world will increase their cyber-security spending by as much as 100 Billion over the next ten years. Some of Bayshore’s customers are deploying our identity-aware application protection platform to demonstrate the high level of application protection and control to federal agencies as a way to win the multi-billion-dollar security contracts from the governments. The U.S. government, in particular, requires its vendors to demonstrate an extremely high level of application protection and control in the vendors’ internal networks.
Setting Best Practices for Application Deployment
Some of the world's most mission-critical enterprise and government customers are beginning to demand Layer-7 protection capability as part of the data network infrastructure as a required best practice for application deployment. As the only identity-aware application protection platform that was built from the ground up to provide Layer 7 protection as part of the network infrastructure, Bayshore's SingleKey and SingleTone platform have been winning over much larger competitors to provide best practices for application deployment at some of the most demanding customers in the world since 2004.
Mitigate application vulnerabilities
Many security auditors have discovered that significant vulnerabilities exist at legacy applications that were written years ago. In order to fix the vulnerabilities, applications need to be rewritten to meet current compliance requirements, a tedious and costly process that might not meet deadline mandated by auditors. With Bayshore's SingleKey, customers will be able to isolate the vulnerabilities and will enjoy real-time application protection with high availability, integrity, and security.
Transition to Virtual and Cloud Computing
What has been lacking in virtualization and cloud computing is Layer 7 Application Protection and Infrastructure-based Authorization. Bayshore's flexible deployment options (hardware, virtual appliance, and blade) position the company as the only vendor that provides large enterprises with a clear path to transition to virtualized and cloud computing with assured availability, integrity, and compliance.
Securing SCADA (Industrial Control Systems)
Thanks to Bayshore's multi-protocol support of both web and non-web applications, our SingleKey Layer 7 Application Firewall is uniquely positioned to secure the increasingly vulnerable SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition infrastructure, which includes industrial control systems for power plants, oil and gas pipelines, railroads, civil defense siren systems, etc.
Securing Business Collaboration
Complementing the identity rich features of our SingleKey protection platform, SingleTone is an authorization module that is fully integrated with SingleKey. Our SingleKey customers have found that SingleTone is an ideal authorization solution to secure their common collaboration tools such as Sharepoint and Webex.
