The Web Application Firewall (WAF) helps protect your system from web-based attacks. CamStreamer uses ModSecurity to enhance security.

Unveiling ModSecurity

ModSecurity is an open-source web application firewall that provides real-time protection from common web vulnerabilities like SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more.

  1. It works as a security layer between your web server and external threats.
  2. In the CamStreamer portal, it helps safeguard sensitive data and streaming services from malicious attacks.

Elevating Security with ModSecurity

To take full advantage of ModSecurity:

  1. Ensure that the WAF settings are enabled in the portal’s Security section.
  2. Review the firewall logs regularly to check for potential threats and blocked attempts.

How ModSecurity Works with the System

ModSecurity operates by analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined rules:

  1. When a request is made to the system, ModSecurity evaluates it against these rules to identify suspicious behavior.
  2. If a potential threat is detected, it can either block the request or log it for further investigation.
  3. CamStreamer users benefit from added protection, especially when dealing with sensitive camera feeds or remote access.
