Securing Legacy Applications Made Easy with Trevonix Secure Gateway

Introduction

As technology evolves, many companies find themselves with legacy applications that may have become vulnerable to security threats due to outdated code or lack of regular updates. However, securing these legacy applications can be challenging, as modifying the code can be time-consuming, risky, and costly. That’s where Trevonix Secure Gateway comes in – a powerful tool/module developed by our company that provides an innovative solution for securing legacy applications without changing their code. 

In this blog, we will delve into the basic functionality of Trevonix Secure Gateway and how it can help businesses protect their legacy applications from potential security risks. 

One of the key functionalities of Trevonix Secure Gateway is its ability to provide an additional layer of security through step-up authentication. This means that even if a user is already authenticated, when attempting to access sensitive information or perform high-risk actions, the product prompts for multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of protection. This helps ensure that only authorized users are granted access to sensitive data, even if their initial authentication is compromised. 

Trevonix Secure Gateway also offers seamless integration with existing legacy applications, making it easy to deploy and manage. It provides a industrial standard authentication protocol, OAuth ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications and systems. This makes it an ideal solution for organizations looking to enhance the security of their legacy applications without disrupting existing workflows. 

Overview of Trevonix Secure Gateway

Trevonix Secure Gateway is a cutting-edge solution that acts as a security layer between the legacy application and the external world. It works by intercepting all incoming and outgoing traffic to and from the legacy application and applying advanced security measures to ensure that the application is protected against potential threats. 

Key Features and Functionality

Trevonix Secure Gateway offers a range of powerful features that make it an ideal solution for securing legacy applications: 

  1. Application-Level Firewall: Trevonix Secure Gateway acts as an application-level firewall, filtering and inspecting all incoming and outgoing traffic to and from the legacy application. This allows it to identify and block any malicious requests, including SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other common web application attacks, before they can reach the legacy application. 

  2. Secure Authentication and Authorization: Trevonix Secure Gateway provides robust authentication and authorization mechanisms, allowing businesses to implement multi-factor authentication, resource-based access control, and other security measures to ensure that only authorized users can access the legacy application. 

  3. Encryption and Data Masking: Trevonix Secure Gateway encrypts sensitive data transmitted between the legacy application and the external world, protecting it from interception and unauthorized access.  

  1. Logging and Monitoring: Trevonix Secure Gateway provides comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities, allowing businesses to monitor and analyse traffic to and from the legacy application in real-time. This enables early detection and response to potential security incidents, ensuring that the legacy application remains secure at all times. 

  2. Easy Integration: One of the key advantages of Trevonix Secure Gateway is its ease of integration with existing legacy applications. It does not require any changes to the code of the legacy application, making it a seamless and cost-effective solution for securing legacy applications without disrupting their functionality.

 Examples

Scenario 1: 

Let’s consider a scenario where a large manufacturing company has a legacy application that manages their production processes. This legacy application, which was developed many years ago, lacks modern security features and has become a potential vulnerability for the company, especially as they handle sensitive production data and intellectual property. The company is concerned about potential security breaches and data leaks, but modifying the legacy application’s code is not a viable option due to the risk of introducing new issues and the high cost of development and testing. 

This is where Trevonix Secure Gateway comes to the rescue. The company decides to implement Trevonix Secure Gateway as an additional layer of security for their legacy application. 

Scenario 2:  

ABC Corporation is a well-established company that has been in business for several decades. Over the years, they have developed several legacy applications that are still in use today. However, due to outdated code and lack of regular updates, these applications have become vulnerable to security threats. ABC Corporation recognizes the importance of securing their legacy applications but is hesitant to make any modifications to the code, as it could be time-consuming, risky, and costly.
