Hosting on Azure is a fast and simplified method to deploy and manage web-based applications. It’s critical to secure these apps with the same level of security as you would in an on-premises data center.

Our multi-layered and correlated approach protects your web apps from the OWASP Top 10 as well as the latest threats. The Web Application Security Service from FortiGuard Labs uses information based on the latest application vulnerabilities, bots, suspicious URL and data patterns, and specialized heuristic detection engines to keep your applications safe from malicious sources, DoS attacks sophisticated threats, and zero-day attacks.

FortiWeb uses the advanced multi-layered and correlated approach to complete security for your web-based applications in Azure. Using IP Reputation services, botnets and other malicious sources are automatically screened out before they can do any damage. DoS detection and prevention keeps your applications safe from being overloaded by Layer 7 DoS attacks. FortiWeb checks that the request hasn't been manipulated using HTTP RFC validation.
    
FortiWeb uses signatures to compare them against known attack types to make sure they're clean. Any files, attachments or codes are scrubbed with FortiWeb's built-in antivirus and anti-malware services.
