Cloud-native approaches to building, hosting, and delivering web applications are growing rapidly. Content delivery networks (CDNs) such as Amazon CloudFront are on the rise, pushing content closer to end users to improve the performance of web applications.
To protect web applications security teams are turning to Next-Gen Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) technologies to address the challenges with traditional WAFs such as false positives and continuous tuning. These newer technologies plug into the application layer requiring instrumentation into the web server or app server. This means security teams need a close partnership with development teams—which you may not have with teams building cloud-native or serverless applications.
To help with this problem, we are excited to announce tCell’s CloudFront agent, which leverages Lambda@Edge to help push security closer to the “edge” without requiring any code changes to your applications. Now, you can integrate directly with Amazon CloudFront, AWS’ native CDN, using Lambda@Edge to monitor inbound and outbound traffic with minimal performance impact and without requiring your traffic to go somewhere else for inspection.
How does the tCell CloudFront agent work?
tCell’s CloudFront Agent integrates directly with AWS CloudFront to provide an additional layer of web application security without negatively affecting performance. By plugging into CloudFront via Lambda@Edge, tCell’s agent is deployed as a CloudFormation stack into the user’s AWS account. Then, updates to users’ CloudFront distributions trigg ..
