SolidWall WAF Compatibility

Web Server has confirmed the compatibility of the Russian SolidWall WAF solution with the Angie PRO web server. This was announced by the Web Server on July 15, 2024.

The use of SolidWall's intelligent web application protection firewall together with the Russian Angie PRO web server allows you to close the basic needs of companies and organizations in conditions when they prefer to use domestic software products in their infrastructure.

The compatibility tests conducted by Angie PRO and SolidWall further confirm the greater reliability and security of protecting businesses from cyber threats, given the trend of switching to domestic infrastructure software as part of import substitution, the expert emphasized.

The SolidWall WAF smart firewall is designed to protect web applications and their users from cyber attacks, identify targeted attacks on web applications and mobile application backends, and protect business logic from bots and malicious activity. The solution is transparently embedded in the secure application development cycle (sSDLC), allows you to automate the protection of new functions and control user behavior.

SolidWall WAF has detailed models of the operation of the protected application and signature behavioral methods for detecting anomalies. This provides a high degree of protection against simple types of attacks and complex directional actions. Tools for suppressing false positives and application ML-algorithms help quickly put SolidWall WAF into operation.

Angie Pro 1.5.0 with ACME support

On March 27, 2024, Web Server released an updated version of the open source web server Angie 1.5.0 and its commercial version Angie PRO 1.5.0.

One of the key changes in the releases is the addition of a http_acme module that implements ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) support. This module simplifies the process of working with digital website certificates by eliminating the need for third-party solutions like EFF Certbot and allows Angie to be consistent in this regard with solutions such as Caddy.

ACME support built into the web server allows you to automatically receive signed certificates and update them as needed, which makes it easier to configure and enable them TLSenciphering for use with the protocol.

Throughout the year, we plan to expand support to provide a full range of opportunities.

The updated version of Angie PRO also adds a "drainage" mode for proxied servers, which allows you to maintain session binding when removing load from the server and thereby ensure smoother operation of the balancer. Other improvements include: improvements to the statistics API, a "auto_redirect" directive to simplify configuration, support for Red OS 8, and the addition of an OpenTelemetry module. In addition, this release includes all changes from the recently released version of nginx 1.25.4.

Compatibility with the Webmonitorex platform

The X-Config system is designed to detect and eliminate vulnerabilities configuration problems. files software X-Config allows you to build the entire process of managing system and application configurations from ON analysis to IT infrastructures monitoring the actual closure of identified vulnerabilities and aligning settings with reference safe configuration practices and regulatory requirements.

Spacebit's secure configuration standard for Angie PRO will allow customers to automate control over web server settings, receive informative reports with prioritization of identified vulnerabilities and recommendations for fixing them. Thanks to the flexible profiling mechanism, information security specialists can make changes to the standard and form corporate safe configuration policies. The use of X-Config will significantly increase the level of information security of the infrastructure whose transactions are processed, balanced and proxied by Angie PRO, which is especially important for enterprises with CII and high-load infrastructures.

Against the background of the increased density of attacks on web servers, the security of their configurations becomes one of the basic elements of cybersecurity of organizations. Given the trend of switching to Russian counterparts of certified infrastructure software, the development of a secure configuration standard for the Angie PRO web server is an important aspect of protecting Russian infrastructures, "said Valery Ledovskoy, X- Config company Spacebit product manager.
