Modsecurity.org - Open Source Web App Firewall

With the majority of hacker attacks coming at the web application level these days, a web application firewall is needed to thwart these attacks before they reach the web applications. Modsecurity is an Open Source web application firewall that amongst other things, allows for full HTTP transaction logging which facilitates the logging of complete requests and responses. These logging functions can be fine tuned by webmasters who can choose exactly what to log and record. Along with traffic logging, Modsecurity can also monitor HTTP traffic in real time to detect attacks and react to suspicious events quickly. With a wide array of other features, and cross-platform support, Modsecurity keeps your network safe.

“With over 70% of all attacks now carried out over the web application level, organisations need every help they can get in making their systems secure. Web application firewalls are deployed to establish an external security layer that increases security, detects, and prevents attacks before they reach web applications.”

This is an Open Source project and businesses of all size will be attracted to this professional solution and its tiny price tag. Why pay for a web application firewall when you can get it for free?
