Intelligent and Proactive Protection

MaxiSafe provides comprehensive protection against attack tools and methods, aiming to prevent attackers from weaponising and fabricating hacking tools before detection mechanisms are activated. By intercepting malicious actions at multiple stages, MaxiSafe reduces the impact of attacks and mitigates potential damage.

MaxiSafe targets two scenarios: web application & API protection and compliance.

Scenario 1: Web Application & API Protection​

In the context of web applications and APIs, MaxiSafe protects against a range of attack vectors targeting application logic, sensitive data, and API endpoints. By identifying and mitigating malicious activities throughout the attack lifecycle, MaxiSafe reduces exposure to reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation tactics.

  • Scanning:
    • Detects and blocks reconnaissance activities, such as vulnerability scans and automated probing.
    • Implements IP reputation checks to identify known malicious scanners.
    • Analyses request frequency to detect burst traffic and abnormal access patterns.

  • Profiling:
    • Identifies abnormal behaviour that may indicate attack preparation, such as repeated access to sensitive endpoints or excessive login attempts.
    • Applies Bot Control to distinguish between legitimate users and malicious automation.
    • Leverages Contextual Detection to correlate behaviour patterns with known attack signatures.

  • Footprinting:
    • Prevents attackers from gathering intelligence about the target infrastructure.
    • Masks server and application information through HTTP header obfuscation and response modification.
    • Enforces Bot Control to prevent unauthorised data collection.

  • Weaponising:
    • Blocks malicious tools and frameworks used for attack automation, such as scanners, exploit kits, and brute-force utilities.
    • Detects exploitation frameworks through behavioural analysis and signature matching.

  • Exploit:
    • Mitigates exploit attempts targeting application vulnerabilities.
    • Implements Web Application Firewall (WAF) for request filtering and payload inspection.
    • Executes Request Parameter Validation to detect and block malicious inputs.
    • Applies API Protection to monitor and throttle requests to critical endpoints.

Scenario 2: Compliance​

MaxiSafe assists organisations in maintaining regulatory compliance by implementing rate limits, blacklists, and scanning controls to manage traffic and prevent unauthorised penetration testing or scanning activities.

  • PenTest:
    • Applies rate limits to prevent excessive requests from penetration testing tools.
    • Identifies and blocks IP addresses associated with known testing frameworks and exploit kits.
    • Enforces blacklist policies to restrict access to sensitive endpoints based on user roles or source IP.

  • Scanning:
    • Detects scanning attempts using signature-based matching and behavioural analysis.
    • Identifies repetitive requests with similar payload structures or access paths, typical of automated scanners.
    • Applies automated response mechanisms, such as blocking, redirecting, or issuing challenges based on detection type.

Underground Industry Attack​

MaxiSafe addresses the risks associated with underground industry attacks, where attackers utilise pre-built tools, credentials, or exploited vulnerabilities to compromise systems. The platform actively monitors for such tactics by correlating activity across multiple detection points and leveraging threat intelligence feeds to identify emerging threats.
