DDoS Testing vs Protection: The Missing Layer in Your Defense
Key takeaways DDoS protection refers to the tools and architecture deployed to stop attacks (CDNs, WAFs, scrubbing centers, firewall rules) operating continuously in the traffic path DDoS testing is a controlled simulation that validates whether those tools actually work under real-world attack conditions 68% of protection faults found in Red Button simulations were rated… First…

Curity looks to reinvent IAM with runtime authorization for AI agents
Multiple approaches to agent security: Today, agent security falls into one of several camps, which include increasingly inadequate inline approaches such as API gateways and web application firewalls (WAFs), and out-of-band analysis systems that infer intent by analyzing agent behavior against a baseline.Curity’s Access Intelligence, by contrast, is a self-hosted microservice that acts as a…

Why Network Monitoring Alone Misses Application Attacks
Tags: application-security, attack, defense, detection, exploit, monitoring, network, tool, vulnerability, waf<div cla TL;DR Network security monitoring excels at traffic analysis and perimeter defense, yet research shows WAF alerts generate overwhelming noise with minimal correlation to actual exploit attempts. The gap exists because network tools operate at the packet level or network edge, while application attacks exploit vulnerabilities during code execution. Runtime application security through Application…

How to Protect Your SaaS from Bot Attacks with SafeLine WAF
Most SaaS teams remember the day their user traffic started growing fast. Few notice the day bots started targeting them.On paper, everything looks great: more sign-ups, more sessions, more API calls. But in reality, something feels off:Sign-ups increase, but users aren’t activating.Server costs rise faster than revenue.Logs are filled with repeated requests from strange user…
