| Abstract [eng] |
Due to continuous availability of Internet services, web applications are constantly under attack. These services often manage bank payments, users’ personal data and other significant information; therefore, they need to be protected from any malicious exploitation. As a result, Internet service protection has become one of the main concerns in IT security. Internet services are publicly available and web applications are very diverse, which makes it harder to protect them from a possible break in. In this work, possible threats to Internet hosting architecture are analysed. A selected Kaunas University of technology technical centre Internet hosting architecture was reviewed. Based on the findings Internet threat analysis framework is proposed and implemented in a currently operating infrastructure. In the created architecture, a reverse proxy distributes and balances users’ queries to web applications while a configured web application firewall analyses potentially dangerous requests. |
