A security analyst is reviewing the logs of a web server and notices that an attacker has attempted to exploit a SQL injection vulnerability. Which of the following tools can the analyst use to analyze the attack and prevent future attacks?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A web application firewall (WAF) is a tool that can protect web servers from attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other web-based threats. A WAF can filter, monitor, and block malicious HTTP traffic before it reaches the web server. A WAF can also be configured with rules and policies to detect and prevent specific types of attacks.

Hmm, I don't know. A web proxy could also be a good option. It can inspect the traffic, detect any suspicious activity, and even rewrite the requests to block the injection attempts. Just gotta make sure it's configured properly.

Ah, but don't forget the good old vulnerability scanner. That can help us identify any weaknesses in the web app that might be leaving the door open for SQL injection in the first place. Gotta address the root cause, you know?

I dunno, a web app firewall might be overkill. What about a network IDS? It can monitor the traffic and catch those SQL injection attempts in the act, right? Plus, it's a bit more versatile than just a firewall.

Whoa, a SQL injection attack? That's some serious stuff, man. We definitely need to bring out the big guns for this one - a web application firewall is the way to go. It can detect and block those sneaky SQL injection attempts before they even get close to the server.
