Trustwave announced that the open source ModSecurity® Web Application Firewall now supports the top three web server platforms, including new support for Microsoft's Internet Information Services and Nginx, in addition to existing support for Apache Web servers.
 
Trustwave collaborated with the Microsoft Security Response Center to extend the reach of ModSecurity to Microsoft IIS.
 
Web applications allow companies to use the internet to conduct business and interface with a larger market, delivering a better user experience for their customers and partners. With this growth in usage, attackers are targeting web applications to break into the core of an organization and gain access to its privileged information.
 
ModSecurity is a free, open source web application firewall that is continuously developed and managed by SpiderLabs, Trustwave's advanced security team. This open-source technology enforces security policies to web transactions, reducing the risk of web-based attacks. As an open source technology, users and developers contribute to the community to help maintain a sustainable solution that defends web applications.
 
"Having ModSecurity available for these additional platforms will help organizations protect their web applications from attacks," says Nicholas Percoco, senior vice president and head of Trustwave SpiderLabs. "As the principal custodian of the ModSecurity open source product, we believe this new support for Microsoft IIS and Nginx will further expand the popularity of the industry's open-source web application firewall."
 
Trustwave also offers a proprietary web application firewall called Trustwave WebDefend, which gives organizations a simplified and easy-to-install web application firewall that offers out-of-the-box reporting, a graphical user interface, and secured integration with Trustwave SIEM.
