Creating Attack- Aware Software Applications Real-Time Defenses
Michael Coates · 2011
Attack-aware software applications provide attack detection and real-time defensive response with a very low false-positive rate. This technique allows an application to detect and neutralize a threat before the attacker exploits a known or unknown vulnerability. The approach is especially suited to soft- ware applications with high information assurance requirements such as in the defense, critical national infrastructure, and financial service sectors to protect against cyber espionage, fraud, business logic abuse, tampering, and theft. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has developed a methodology, documentation, code and pilot demonstration which can be freely used to apply the concepts; this project is called AppSensor.
