When the Patch Window Collapses: Defending Against Zero-Day Exploits with AI-Powered WAF

When critical vulnerabilities are weaponized before an upstream patch is available, as recently observed with PHP2Shell, SecOps teams face a familiar operational dilemma: shielding production systems from automated exploits without breaking valid traffic or degrading application performance. This session walks through the strategies of defending against active exploits at the edge, before patch is available. We will analyze the exploit traffic patterns seen during recent campaigns against popular software stacks and evaluate how AI-Powered WAF can help engineering teams protect critical apps while upstream fixes are developed and evaluated.

In this live webinar, we'll cover: - Recent attack waves related to open sourced tools and critical CVEs: Breaking down how automated threat actors rapidly weaponize CVE disclosures across edge stacks. - AI Powered protection vs. static signatures: Where regex and static rule-matching fall short during zero-day events, and how neural networks flag high risk attempts before knowing the exploit details. - Minimizing false positives to maintain customer satisfactions: While fighting against attacks is important, how to ensure deployed security measures do not disrupt user experience, checkout paths, or critical API transactions.
