How can you prevent data leaks from apps your organisation uses?
A zero-trust application layer is the answer as it blocks undesirable behaviour and warns you when you need to spring into action.

Virtually everyone needs e-mail to work. Unfortunately, this vital communication channel also plays a key role when it comes to threats. More than 90 per cent of all malware is spread by e-mail and integrated security alone is simply not enough to protect a company against e-mail fraud, ransomware, phishing, and other threats. Thankfully, security awareness training in combination with zero trust web and e-mail security is very effective.
In addition to e-mail, other (web) apps also present a big security risk. In short, if you send and edit your data via the network, so can others. A web application firewall doesn’t just control general access, but also who uses apps, what these can do, and what’s allowed, blocking unauthorised activities.
A good solution doesn’t just protect, but also learns. We leverage machine learning (ML) to gauge standard user behaviour. People working as usual will have a smooth and secure experience,
but if someone suddenly does something unexpected, the solution will act.
The increasing need for remote working is largely met with mobile apps and web interfaces. In both cases, companies are installing an extra digital door into traditional firewalls. Of course, ultimately employees have to be able to access them somehow, but that ramps up the risk factor. A modern environment increases security with an intelligent next generation firewall. This web application firewall doesn’t just monitor access, but use too. Even if someone has already succeeded in breaking through the initial zero-trust layers, suspicious behaviour can be stopped at application level.
In a well-secured environment, employees work in peace without having to worry about security. A zero trust approach focuses on technical security measures that are largely automated and managed by the IT department.
People not working in IT security can be sure of the best balance between security and user-friendliness. In IT security, you can count on an outstanding management interface and environment that adapt to the threat landscape, which is increasingly based on AI and ML. The systems check user behaviour and step in (depending on the risk) when they spot something unusual.
Simply log in to access to your apps and data. The Security Wheel’s application layer encompasses web and e-mail security and the web applications firewall.
We monitor the main entry point through which malware enters (e-mail), block potentially undesirable applications and also monitor whether approved applications are operating within secure criteria
so when attackers strike, you can quickly respond.
