About KaVaDo

KaVaDo operated in the application software industry, specifically focusing on cybersecurity solutions for distributed enterprises. The company was headquartered in Stamford, CT, United States.

The firm developed and provided the InterDo Web Application Firewall, a security product designed to protect a company's internet, intranet, and extranet web applications. Unlike traditional network firewalls that inspect packets, KaVaDo's solution focused on the application layer. It worked by examining the server traffic itself and validating its content before it could reach the application, thereby identifying and blocking potential attacks aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications. The system allowed for the creation of specific protection definitions for individual server applications, such as defining maximum lengths for HTTP requests or specifying allowed field sizes and ranges within forms. This approach enabled security for web applications where access to the source code was not available, making it difficult to patch vulnerabilities directly. The firewall provided real-time monitoring of active users and network sessions and could issue alerts through various channels like email and SNMP.

The company's primary clients were enterprises seeking to protect their corporate assets and customer data from web-based attacks. KaVaDo was a private company and was later acquired by Protegrity USA.
