Web Application Security

Stop Web-Based Application Threats

A web application used to be any application that uses a web browser as a client. Application simple as a message board or a guest sign-in book on a website, or as complex as a word processor or a spreadsheet through a web browser are typically known as web application. Web technology continues to evolve and native applications are more integrated with the Internet then ever before. Web application is no longer restricted by the web browser and it has become standalone application or even operation system that that fully integrates with internet.

How to Buy

Purchase Fortinet Products


As an incubator, we have a shared services environment but that doesn't mean that we want everything, such as intellectual property, between our customers shared. It was therefore critical that we have a solution to securely partition each customer's network but still allow for shared resources such as printers and Internet access. Fortinet's FortiGate systems enabled us to achieve this by virtualizing network security, which also helped free-up network bandwidth and increase our network performance.
