What is open-appsec?
open-appsec is an open-source fully automated Web Application & API Security solution. It is powered by a machine learning engine which continuously analyzes users' HTTP/S requests as they visit the website or API.
The analysis includes the application structure and how users interact with the content in order to identify patterns and automatically stop and block malicious requests and bad actors.
open-appsec provides pre-emptive threat protection against OWASP Top-10- and zero-day attacks. Thanks to machine learning, there is no threat signature upkeep and exception handling, like common in many WAF solutions.
It can be deployed as add-on to Kubernetes Ingress Controller, NGINX and Kong API Gateway (Envoy support soon as well) on many platforms.
