Introduction to Application Security

Trend Micro Cloud One™ – Application Security provides runtime protection for:

• Containerized applications
• Serverless functions

When Application Security is properly deployed, it detects and protects against threats to your web- and cloud-native-based applications, minimizing your risk.

Determined attackers are continuously running scanners against your site, creating malicious user accounts, fuzzing various elements, triggering exceptions, and attempting to run exploitation tools. Attackers do this in order to:

• take over customer or administrative accounts.
• execute code on your server.
• steal sensitive data stored on your servers.

By including Application Security in your applications, you will receive alerts as soon as attackers begin conducting scans and attacks. You can address each event manually, or you can configure Application Security to react automatically to these attackers, stopping them in their tracks before any damage is done.​

Most importantly, real vulnerabilities are not exploited because of the runtime protection, and your developers will have code-level information regarding the vulnerability.

Application Security's key features

• Easily embed security functionality into your running applications and serverless functions.
• Bridge the gap between the security team and development teams by providing a tool that provides relevant information to both.
• Get visibility into attacks targeting your application.
• Protect against the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, OS Command injection, and more.
• Stop zero-day vulnerabilities from being exploited.
