Description

A DATA MANAGEMENT PLATFORM FOR SECURITY INCIDENTS
Technological Field:
This invention is related to a data management platform for security incidents, which may be adopted by large-scale enterprises, government agencies, financial institutions and healthcare providers and may be used in security operations centers to meet the needs of institutions and organizations in cybersecurity, network management and data analytics.
State of the Art:
Today, web applications are becoming vulnerable to cyberattacks, and therefore security measures are critical. Web Application Firewalls (WAF), in this context, are a widely used technology to protect web applications. By analyzing the incoming traffic, WAFs detect and block malicious requests, and record attack data during this process. However, the existing systems face several challenges in managing, storing, and analyzing the collected data. Conventional WAF solutions often focus only on attack detection and do not offer adequate mechanisms to securely store the collected data in a central data repository. This leads to problems such as data loss, delays, and inaccurate analysis results. In addition, the existing systems often require manual intervention in data transfer processes, which increases the risk of errors and increases the intervention time to the incidents.
The patent application No. US9432335B1 describes "Cloud-Based Multi-Layered Security Architecture with Firewalled Virtual Network Partitions". The invention includes a virtual network, a web application firewall (WAF) portion to receive network traffic for one or more other portions of the virtual network; a first firewall connected to the WAF; web server portion, connected to the first firewall, to receive web traffic; a second firewall connected to the web server portion; an application server portion, connected to the second firewall, to perform application services for one or more servers of the web server portion; a third firewall connected to the application server portion; a database server portion connected to the third firewall; a fourth firewall connected to the database server portion, the application server portion, and the web server portion; an active directory portion, connected to the fourth firewall, to perform authentication of one or more access requests associated with the virtual network; and a utility portion, connected to the first firewall and the fourth firewall.
The patent application no. CN117971866A describes "WAF Rule Engine Optimization Method and Device Based on Lexical Analysis". The invention describes a WAF rule engine optimization method based on lexical analysis. The method includes the following steps: decoding a user claim to obtain a user input parameter value; converting the parameter value entered by the user into a token string; and performing lexical analysis on the token string and determining whether the user request is a malicious one based on the result of the lexical analysis. Thanks to the WAF rule engine optimization based on lexical analysis, the false alarm rate of the WAF is reduced at a low cost, and only lexical analysis is required instead of complete grammatical analysis, so the workload is small and the analysis difficulty is low.
The above describes web application firewalls (WAFs) with various designs. These applications prevent and record various attacks. This recorded data is transmitted to log file-based monitoring systems and manual data recording methods. These data are usually recorded in log files, then processed manually. These manual processes are time-consuming and error-prone, making it difficult to properly analyze and securely store data. In addition, there are manual data entry options provided by Excel or simple database applications. In such manual processes, the possibility of human error in the recorded data is high and analysis and reporting may be disrupted.

This attack data collected by WAF (1) is transmitted to SQL database (2) via the data transfer module (3) for secure and efficient transportation and organization of data. This module (3) manages the format and transfer protocols of the collected data, enabling the data to be transferred in real-time and securely. This eliminates delays and errors that arise in manual processes, providing a quick solution for timely analysis of data. Within SQL Database (2), incoming data is organized via a storage module (4) and stored for analysis. This module (4) enables the structuring and organization of the collected data so that the data can be easily integrated into the analysis and reporting processes. The storage module (4) preserves data integrity, making it possible to store data for long periods of time and report it when necessary. The integrity of this system enables attacks to be detected, monitored, and managed more quickly and effectively, allowing institutions to respond more quickly and efficiently to cybersecurity risks.
