Summary
The Splunk AppDynamics Secure Application Alerts detection rule focuses on identifying and responding to exploit attempts targeting business applications in real-time. The rule primarily addresses various web application vulnerabilities, including SQL injection attacks, API abuses, deserialization flaws, remote code execution threats, and emerging zero-day exploits. By utilizing data from the Splunk AppDynamics SecureApp, this analytics tool correlates signs of attacks with known vulnerabilities to deliver timely alerts. The main functions of this detection include the capability to recognize active exploit attempts as they occur, assess the severity of these threats for prioritization in response efforts, and provide SOC analysts with actionable insights into the tactics employed by attackers. The detection creates a comprehensive view of an attack’s context, including the source IP, attack technique, and potentially affected applications. It also generates risk-based scores and contextual alerts, which help the Security Operations Center (SOC) make informed decisions during incident management. The implementation of this detection requires the ingestion of alerts data specifically tagged as 'appdynamics_security', and can be optimized through specific search filtering techniques to reduce noise while maintaining critical signal integrity. This approach allows SOC teams to better defend against, remediate, and preemptively address vulnerabilities within their applications.
