Managed Detection and Response for Web Application Attacks
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The Managed Detection and Response for Web Application Service safeguards publicly exposed web assets—websites, web applications, mobile apps and APIs. By combining advanced security analytics with expert human analysis, the service monitors, detects and responds to threats and vulnerabilities. This approach effectively reduces the attack surface and strengthens clients' security posture.
