💡 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
XSS attacks inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Reflected XSS uses crafted URLs, while stored XSS persists in databases. Both types can steal session cookies, redirect users, or deface websites.
💡 Log Correlation and SIEM Integration
Correlating logs across web servers, firewalls, DNS, and authentication systems reveals attack patterns invisible in individual log sources. Modern SIEM platforms use statistical analysis to connect related events across time and systems.
