Sovereign Bank Protects Web Applications With WebDefend Application Firewall

Sovereign Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Sovereign Bank, is an $82 billion financial institution with principal markets in the Northeast United States. Sovereign Bank offers a broad array of financial services and products including retail banking, business and corporate banking, cash management, capital markets, wealth management, and insurance. Being such a large financial institution, it is imperative that the company's web-facing storefront remain secure against online attacks. Sovereign Bank chose Breach Security's WebDefend web application firewall to protect its online banking application from attacks and at the same time monitor usage of the application to identify any defects or vulnerabilities.
