This tweet highlights that traditional WAFs and API gateways struggle to detect and block business logic attacks, which are complex attacks targeting the underlying business rules and workflows of an application rather than technical vulnerabilities like XSS or SQLi. Business logic attacks often bypass signature- or pattern-based defenses in traditional WAFs. Radware's API Security Service addresses this gap by using fully automated, AI-based runtime analysis to detect and mitigate business logic attacks in real-time. This advanced approach leverages artificial intelligence to understand and monitor the typical business operations to identify anomalies that represent potential attacks. The service thus offers a much-needed solution to protect APIs against sophisticated threats that exploit business logic weak points, improving security beyond what typical WAFs can offer. The solution brief linked in the tweet likely contains detailed information about how their AI-driven technology works, deployment models, and effectiveness metrics.
