Prevent Data Breach on Web Apps with These Security Solutions – Sqreen, Snyk, Templarbit, Immunio – 2019

Node.js is popular among the developers, and the JavaScript runtime is exposed to several developers. As one technology gets popular among developers, it also gains the attention of millions of attackers and hackers. Since it is inevitable, it is recommended to use web application security management tools to prevent data breaches.

Node.js by itself is a secure platform. However, when you integrate third-party packages, depending on the techniques involved in installing, configuring, and deploying, it demands an extra layer of protection. 

Snyk says, 83% of its users found vulnerabilities in their applications, and new vulnerabilities are disclosed regularly, putting their application at risk.

So, shall we have a quick look at the web application security management tools?

1. Sqreen – Offers a Modern Approach to Security in Production for Web Apps and Cloud Workloads

Sqreen can be quickly set up and is incredibly easy to install. All you have to do is to deploy it along with your code. Your app is now safe from attackers and hackers. As it is lightweight, you get complete security without compromising on your app’s performance.

Along with security protection, Sqreen provides the following as well:

1. Zero-day attacks.
2. OWASP Top 10.
3. SQL/No-SQL/Code/Command injections.
4. Cross-site scripting attacks.

Sqreen supports apps built on Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc. With an array of data from other apps, Sqreen makes the best use of collective intelligence to foresee an attack on your app.

2. Snyk – Open-Source Security Platform to Find and Fix Vulnerabilities

When risk/vulnerabilities are found in your code, Snyk lets you know your application dependencies and helps you monitor real-time alerts. Also, you can integrate it into GitHub, Bamboo, and Tarvis to resolve vulnerabilities.

Along with security protection, Snyk provides the following as well:

1. Collaborate with your team members.
2. Notifies you when a new weakness impacts your application.
3. Detect vulnerabilities in the code.
4. Resolve the vulnerable dependencies.
5. Monitor code in real-time.

Currently, Snyk supports apps built on Node.js, Ruby, and Python. Also, Snyk has maintains a database to manage CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure).

3. Immunio – Fully Automated Application Protection for Ruby on Rails, Python and Java.

As Immunio is an agent-based software, it can be installed directly on your server, and you can be set up within minutes. Using the RASP security technology, Immunio manages to identify vulnerabilities and protect your web app. It offers concurrent data breach protection for Node.js, RoR, Python, and Java. 

Along with security protection, Immunio provides the following as well:

1. Real-time visibility & report.
2. Protection against OWASP runtime threats.
3. No source code changes needed.
4. It blocks bots, spammer, hacker, & attacker.

4. Cloudflare WAF – Protects your Internet property from Common Vulnerabilities 

The Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) shields your web app from possible cloud vulnerabilities. Unlike other tools, you don’t have to install it on your web app. Here are three types of Web App Firewall rules you get:

1. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project): Protect a web app from OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities
2. Cloudflare specials: Rules specified by Cloudflare based on your app.

Another awesome feature of Jscrambler is its application logic. Also, the data is transformed uniquely that it is hidden on the client-side and hard to grasp. As a result, it becomes difficult for the attackers to crack the algorithm and technologies used to build the application.

Along with security protection, Jscrambler provides the following as well:

1. Prevents malware injection.
2. Mitigates DOM-tampering, bots, code-injection, man-in-the-browser, zero-day attacks.
3. Prevents the loss of credential, credit card, and private data.
4. Detects, notifies, and protects in real-time.

6. Templarbit – Protects Web Apps, APIs and Microservices Using Data-driven Approach to Runtime Security

Templarbit aims to protect your web app from XSS attacks. It does it effortlessly by taking advantage of the content security policy. It collaborates well with Node.js, RoR, Django, etc. to protect your app from malicious attacks and activities.

Along with building an awesome product with impressive front-end, you need to take care of security measures as well. You must plan these things while choosing the technology stack for your web app to prevent data breaches.
