Form Hardening
Validate and Enforce submitted form data.
Astaro’s unique Form Hardening technology inspects and validates the information submitted by visitors via forms on your web sites. This stops malicious users from passing invalid data which can damage or exploit your server as it is digested.
A web form on a web page allows users to enter data that is then sent to a server for processing. Internet visitors fill out forms using controls like checkboxes, radio buttons, and drop-down boxes. As the data entry using these tools is frequently exploited by hackers, Form Hardening is designed to prevent a visitor from submitting something unexpected.
How it works is ASG becomes aware of the possible responses in a form which is sent out by a server to a visitor. Form Hardening inspects the answer which is given and compares it against the possible “valid” responses. If the response differs or the Form Hardening process was tampered with, the form will be rejected. For example, if a user is offered a ratings dropdown with a possible value of “1-5”, the system will reject the form if the user manipulates the form and submits a value of “6”.
This feature and the protection it provides can prevent many types of exploits and techniques which are used by hackers to breach sites, steal data, and acquire forbidden information.
Astaro Form Hardening Technology gives you control and enforcement of data submitted via forms on your site:
- Form data analysis
- Legitimate response awareness
- Encrypted response packaging
- Rejection of tampered forms
