Using the Advanced Machine Learning Model

About open-appsec's Machine Learning Models

open-appsec uses two machine learning models:
  1. 1.
    A supervised model that was trained offline based on millions of requests, both malicious and benign. For this there are two options you can chose from:
    • A basic model is provided as part of the GitHub repository and the default installations. This is recommended for use in Monitor-Only and Test environments.
    • An advanced model can be downloaded from open-appsec portal. This is more accurate and recommended for Production use.
  2. 2.
    An unsupervised model that is being built in real time in the protected environment. This model uses traffic patterns specific to the environment.
