Explore how Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques can be applied to web application security in this conference talk from OWASP Global AppSec Tel Aviv. Dive into the application of Word2Vec to analyze malicious web requests, embedding attack vectors in Euclidean space for contextual analysis. Learn about practical applications, including modeling web scanning tools, assessing security rule effectiveness, and distinguishing targeted attacks from general web scans. Gain insights from cybersecurity experts Itsik Mantin and Ori Or Meir as they present their research on using NLP to better understand and defend against web attackers. Discover how this innovative approach can help identify related attack vectors, improve security rule accuracy, and isolate attacks from the same campaign.
