Description

ModSecurity is an open-source web application firewall that helps protect web applications from a wide range of attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other malicious activities. It uses a set of rules, known as a “rule set,” to identify and block malicious requests. This rule set can be customized to meet the security needs of an organization. ModSecurity also provides real-time monitoring and logging of requests, allowing administrators to quickly identify and respond to potential threats. ModSecurity is compatible with most popular web server platforms, and is typically used in conjunction with other security measures such as encryption and authentication.
