If your ERP or eShop is online, it is exposed.

Today, more and more businesses operate:

• ERP systems hosted in the Cloud or on Azure
• B2B and B2C eShops
• CRM portals
• Web applications
• Public APIs for partners and integrations

24/7 availability is essential.
But that also means your infrastructure is accessible from anywhere in the world — not only by customers.

And a significant portion of internet traffic does not come from real users.

The Main Risks for eShop & Cloud ERP Environments

1. Brute Force & Credential Stuffing Attacks

Automated bots attempt thousands of login combinations against:

• ERP portals
• Admin panels
• B2B customer accounts

Even when unsuccessful, these attempts consume:

• CPU and RAM
• Database connections
• Network bandwidth
• Cloud resources

Over time, this leads to increased infrastructure costs and performance degradation.

---

2. Price & Data Scraping

Automated tools can:

• Download entire price lists
• Monitor promotional changes
• Collect product and commercial data

Without your knowledge.

In B2B environments, this can mean exposure of sensitive commercial information.

---

3. API Abuse

If your ERP or eShop exposes APIs:

• Excessive automated requests can overload services
• Resource consumption may spike unexpectedly
• Performance issues may affect legitimate users

In Azure or other cloud environments, this often translates directly into higher operating costs.

---

4. Web Application Layer Attacks (OWASP)

Threats such as:

• SQL Injection
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
• Malicious payloads

Target the web application itself — not just the network.

A traditional network firewall alone is often not sufficient to stop these attacks.

---

The Business Impact

The consequences are not only technical.

They include:

• Slow ERP performance
• eShop instability
• Downtime
• Increased cloud bills
• Risk of data breach
• Loss of customer trust

In many cases, the root cause is malicious traffic that appears “normal” at first glance.

What Is Blackwall?

Blackwall is a Web Application Protection solution that operates as a reverse proxy in front of your website or ERP portal.

It analyzes incoming traffic in real time and:

• Detects and blocks malicious bots
• Prevents brute force login attempts
• Mitigates scraping activity
• Protects against web-layer attacks
• Filters suspicious requests before they reach your server
• Reduces infrastructure load

Blackwall does not replace your firewall or endpoint protection.

It acts as an additional security layer specifically designed for internet-exposed web applications.

---

When Does It Make Sense?

Web Application Protection is especially important if:

• Your ERP is hosted in the cloud
• You operate a B2B eShop
• You provide public login portals
• You observe unusual traffic spikes
• You want greater visibility and control over incoming traffic
