Signal Sciences announced an integration with Microsoft Azure App Service for the Signal Sciences next-gen Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution.

By ensuring that the Signal Sciences solution interoperates seamlessly with Azure App Service, the integration makes it easy for enterprises to easily deploy Signal Sciences to protect any of their cloud-native, legacy and serverless applications against attacks, such as the OWASP Top 10, account takeovers, API misuse, and bad bots.

With a one-click deployment, Signal Sciences next-gen WAF and RASP provides instant visibility and protection for all business-critical applications and APIs on Azure App Service. Signal Sciences integrates at the platform layer instead of the code layer, making it compatible with any application that runs on Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) within Azure App Service.

“Enterprises are in different stages of digital transformation and their journey to the cloud,” said Jonathan DiVincenzo, VP of Product Management at Signal Sciences. “Whether they are running applications on-premises, transitioning legacy applications to the cloud, or deploying cloud-native applications on Azure, our integration with Azure App Service provides instant visibility and advanced application protection, enabling organizations to move faster while ensuring application security is baked in from the start.”

“Azure App Service makes it easy for organizations to modernize existing applications that are hosted on-premises, or to build and deploy new applications using a fully managed platform optimized for developer productivity,” said Sajan Parihar, Senior Director, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp. "Signal Sciences ensures our mutual customers maintain a strong security posture while building, deploying and scaling their applications and APIs on Azure."

Signal Sciences offers a hybrid and multi-cloud platform that provides next-gen WAF, API Security, RASP, Advanced Rate Limiting, Bot Protection and DDoS protection. Fast and easy to implement, organizations can deploy Signal Sciences web application and API protection to secure their most important web applications, APIs, and microservices on any architecture—all under one unified management system with full feature parity.

Signal Sciences next-gen WAF is fully qualified within the Microsoft Azure certified program, and it is available today on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
