17 Best Cloud WAAP & WAF Software in 2024

A web application firewall is a security software that observes and filters HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a web application and the internet. While this has been available for decades, with the evolution of the threat landscape, WAFs have also added additional capabilities to protect not only web apps but also APIs against a range of attacks, including DDoS and bot attacks. So, the category has evolved and is currently called Web Application and API Protection (WAAP).

Top 9 Network Security Monitoring Tools for Identifying Potential Threats

Network security monitoring is the process of inspecting network traffic and IT infrastructure for signs of security issues. These signs can provide IT teams with valuable information about the organization’s cybersecurity posture. For example, security teams may notice unusual changes being made to access control policies. This may lead to unexpected traffic flows between on-premises systems and unrecognized web applications.

Kernel Introspection from Linux to Windows

The cybersecurity landscape is undergoing a significant shift, moving from security tools monitoring applications running within userspace to advanced, real-time approaches that monitor system activity directly and safely within the kernel by using eBPF. This evolution in kernel introspection is particularly evident in the adoption of projects like Falco, Tetragon, and Tracee in Linux environments.

Autonomous Patching in 72 Hours: Understanding SwyftComply on AppTrana WAAP

To comply with the security audit requirements of SOC 2, PCI, and others, your application audit report should have zero open vulnerabilities. Most companies perform these audits at least annually, and the audits are more frequent for highly regulated industries such as finance and healthcare. However, 31% of critical and high vulnerabilities remain open after 180 days – according to The State of Application Security.
