Glossary

Airlock Gateway protects web applications and APIs from unauthorized access. The glossary terms explain concepts related to attack detection, API security, and the enforcement of security policies in upstream protection architectures.

Web application and API protection (WAAP)

Web application and API protection (WAAP) brings together protection mechanisms for web applications and application programming interfaces. These typically include filtering, access control and defence against known attack patterns.

Zero-day exploits

A zero-day exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability for which no security update is yet available.

Virtual patching

Virtual patching blocks attempts to exploit a known vulnerability until it has been fixed in the application. It can reduce the risk in the meantime.

DDoS attacks

In a DDoS attack, many devices send requests to a service at the same time to overload it and affect its availability.

API specifications

API specifications describe the requests, parameters and data formats an interface accepts. Enforcing these specifications from a security perspective makes it easier to identify unexpected or manipulated requests.

SIEM systems

SIEM systems collect and correlate security-related events from different sources. In the context of a gateway, they support the analysis of attacks, alerting and traceability.

HSMs

HSMs are hardware security modules: specialised systems for securely generating, storing and using cryptographic keys. They are used when particularly high standards apply to key material and trust anchors.

Threat intelligence feed

A threat intelligence feed provides up-to-date information about known threats, such as IP addresses associated with malicious activity. Security solutions can use this information to assess or block access.
