ModSecurity is a potent web app layer firewall for Apache web servers. It monitors the whole HTTP traffic to a site without affecting its performance and when it discovers an intrusion attempt, it prevents it. The firewall furthermore keeps a more comprehensive log for the site visitors than any server does, so you'll be able to keep an eye on what's happening with your websites a lot better than if you rely only on conventional logs. ModSecurity employs security rules based on which it prevents attacks. For example, it identifies if anyone is trying to log in to the admin area of a given script several times or if a request is sent to execute a file with a certain command. In these instances these attempts trigger the corresponding rules and the firewall program hinders the attempts immediately, then records detailed info about them within its logs. ModSecurity is among the best software firewalls out there and it could easily protect your web apps against a large number of threats and vulnerabilities, especially if you don’t update them or their plugins often.
