Analysis of the Architecture, Technology and Advantages of AI-based Web Application Firewall
Keywords:
AI technology, Web application, Firewall systemAbstract
The static defense mode of traditional firewalls is difficult to cope with rapidly changing attack methods. However, the AI-powered WAF can automatically learn traffic patterns and attack characteristics by analyzing a large amount of network data in real time, enabling dynamic policy adjustment. It can more accurately distinguish legitimate requests from malicious attacks, significantly reduce false positives and false negatives, and quickly respond to large-scale network attacks, timely block the attack link, reduce the impact of attacks on Web applications, and ensure the continuity and stability of services. By analyzing the limitations of traditional Web application firewalls, comparing the advantages of combining AI technology with traditional technology, and explaining its system architecture and key technologies, this paper aims to improve Web application security and provide a reference for building an advanced security protection system.
