Do you know if your IT infrastructure has vulnerabilities? With JOUO, not only can you find out, but you can even breathe a sigh of relief if you do have any. Because with shadow mode, your vulnerabilities are hidden from the outside world, giving you or your IT service providers enough time to fix them without being detected by attackers in the meantime.
And how does it work?
We place a reverse proxy in front of your web server. This filters all requests that come to your web server and only lets through those that are harmless. But that's not all: it also cloaks your web servers so that your vulnerabilities cannot be scanned or are visible from the outside. If you want to learn more about reverse proxy, we've written everything you need to know about it in our last article: Reverse proxy
While the reverse proxy is running, you have time to work on your vulnerabilities.
When or why do I need this?
You always need shadow mode if you have discovered critical vulnerabilities, if your IT teams need time to make clean improvements or if you cannot risk someone from outside detecting the gaps. Without shadow mode, attackers can see your gaps and exploit them. This is because JOUO uses publicly visible data and what JOUO can find, attackers can also find.
Why use JOUO's reverse proxy and not go to another provider?
JOUO is not an impersonal giant corporation, but has contact persons that you can call at any time. No matter whether you have simple questions or need advice. They are there to help and advise you.
In JOUO, you can track the status of your processing - whether your weak points have actually been rectified and which ones still exist. However, this is only possible if we set up the reverse proxy, as this information is actually invisible - which is why the combination of JOUO with our reverse proxy is ideal.
Additionally, all your data remains within the EU. We work on German and Europe-wide servers so that your data doesn't "phone the world and then phone home again" when you use shadow mode. This has the advantage that your data is always protected under European data protection laws.
How do I get shadow mode?
Simply contact us. If you would like us to set up shadow mode for you, either contact the JOUO team directly or one of our contacts on our website. We will then get back to you with a personal consultation and can discuss all the details and questions - including the prices, which are customized.
