Anatomy of a web application attack and modern security approaches
As cyber threats evolve, organizations face sophisticated attacks on applications. This white paper examines a web application attack using the Log4Shell vulnerability and how Contrast Security's Application Detection and Response (ADR) technology protects against zero-day threats.
It discusses the limitations of web application firewalls (WAFs) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, explaining how ADR offers deep visibility, context-aware detection, and zero-day protection. Attack chain analysis highlights ADR's ability to identify and prevent advanced threats.
The paper outlines ADR's benefits, including reduced risk, lower costs, and improved compliance.
