Advanced Patches

| Overview

Traditional patching often can’t keep up with new threats. Advanced Patches from RedShield enable new security capabilities to be added to applications quickly, without touching the application code. Built on our in-flight patching technology, these patches help organizations respond faster to attacks, threats, and compliance needs - while reducing downtime and developer effort. `

| What Are Advanced Patches?

Advanced Patches are pre-built security components that can be applied to web applications (without touching the application’s code), and run on RedShield’s AWS-powered managed service platform. Each patch focuses on a specific use case such as multi-factor authentication, file upload antivirus scanning, site scraping defense, advanced bot protection, and more. Advanced Patches extend application defenses without the need to change or redeploy code.

| Examples of RedShield’s Advanced Patches

No Touch MFA

Add multi-factor authentication to existing web apps quickly, without needing any code changes in the app itself. No Touch MFA strengthens login protection and meets compliance standards such as PCI DSS 4.0. 

Third Horizon DDoS and Bot Protection

 An adaptive layer of defense that helps address malicious bot activity via targeted email challenges, slowing attackers down and increasing their costs.

  GenAI Adversary Defense

  Designed to identify and block AI-generated or automated attacks that imitate human behaviour.

 Site Scraping Defense

  Helps protect sites from automated scraping with a range of controls and features, including honeypots and canary tokens.

 File Upload Antivirus Scanning

  Scans uploaded files for viruses before they reach the application, helping to prevent malicious payloads from hitting the app.
