Web Application Security Platform (WAASP)

WAASP is an attack prediction, detection, and response platform for web applications. With artificial intelligence and machine learning support, it increases the visibility of web applications, performs security analyses, and makes the entire process centrally manageable.

Challenges of Cyber Attack Analysis for Web Applications

Growing Web App Threats: In the fast-evolving digital era, threats to web apps and services are becoming more complex and hard to prevent. Legacy security solutions fall short against modern attacks, limiting the capacity to protect critical data.

Expanding Attack Surfaces: The use of microservices and API-based systems in web apps expands the attack surface, increasing the areas attackers can exploit.

Operational Efficiency: Managing different security products like WAF, SIEM, SAST, DAST, and EDR separately complicates attack detection and response, reducing efficiency.

Innovative Aspects

  • It detects advanced attacks with AI and ML-powered analysis in addition to signature-based rules.
  • Provides centralized and faster analysis by offering different modules like OWASP, IP Reputation, Geolocation, DDoS, ML, AI, and action management in a single integrated architecture.
  • Adapts to different security products and in-house systems via API-based integrations, speeding up analysis and action processes.
  • Complies with KVKK and similar regulations by processing data within the organization.
  • Processes large volumes of logs and traffic effectively thanks to its modern infrastructure architecture.

How Does WAASP Work?

WAASP increases web app visibility, performs security analyses, and makes these processes manageable. Thanks to ML & AI-powered anomaly detection, IP Reputation, OWASP, Geolocation, DDoS Attack, and Action Management modules, it lets you manage all security analysis from a single hub.

Workflow

1. Data Collection

  • Collecting data from different log sources.
  • Organizing data within a specific rule framework.
  • Forwarding processed data to relevant modules.

2. Analysis

  • Data from sources is processed and analyzed via ML&AI-Powered Anomaly Detection, IP Reputation, OWASP, Geolocation, and DDoS Attack Modules.
  • Security analysis outputs are displayed via the user interface.
  • Requests identified with high attack scores are examined.

3. Visualization

  • Security analysis outputs are displayed via the user interface.
  • Requests identified with high attack scores are examined.

4. Approval / Workflow Process

  • Blocking actions are applied on FW, LB, DDoS devices, and similar systems with security analyst approval.
  • Actions are managed through an approval/workflow process.
  • Action advice is offered based on risk score.
  • Rollback support is provided for applied actions.
  • Actions are centrally managed and monitored.

Continuous Improvement

Regular updates and continuous improvement of the ML & AI Anomaly Detection Module to adapt to changing attack methods.
