[Autogenerated] Welcome to Pluralsight And this blue team
tools course feature in mod security,
an open source web application firewall originally created
by Ivan Ristic and currently developed and maintained by the
Spider Labs team at Trustwave.
The most critical security risks to web applications include sequel injection,
API hacking and brute force authentication attacks.
Just take a look at the old wasp,
top 10 security risks and you'll hopefully begin to understand our
challenge as information security professionals.
We need a way to mitigate attacks against our web
environments and we must also have the capability to detect
the presence of malicious activity.
In this course,
you will learn how mod security can help detect and block a broad range of
malicious activity directed against web applications.
So how did mod security get its name?
Well,
it started as a module for the Apache web server where third party
modules are required to use the prefix mod short for module and a
suffix that describes the module's functionality.
So when taken together we get mod and security today mod security
can provide real time protection for several web servers such as
Apache engine X and Microsoft II.
S.
When deployed,
mod security will monitor log and filter bidirectional traffic
based on curated or custom security rules.

application security in the application analysis with mod
