Azure Web Application Firewall
Azure Web Application Firewall is a cloud-native security service designed to protect web applications and APIs from common web vulnerabilities and attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. By integrating seamlessly with Azure services like Application Gateway, Front Door, and Content Delivery Network , Azure WAF offers centralized protection, ensuring the security and availability of web applications without the need for modifications to backend code.
CrowdSec
CrowdSec is an open-source security stack that detects aggressive behaviors and prevents them from accessing your systems. Its user-friendly design and ease of integration into your current security infrastructure offer a low technical entry barrier and a high-security gain. Once an unwanted behavior is detected, it is automatically blocked. The aggressive IP, scenario triggered and the timestamp is sent for curation, to avoid poisoning & false positives. If verified, this IP is then redistributed to all CrowdSec users running the same scenario.
