Security Intelligence
💡 HTTP Header Analysis for Threat Detection
Examining HTTP headers beyond User-Agent reveals attack tools and automated scripts. Missing standard headers, unusual ordering, non-standard values, and inconsistencies with claimed client identity all serve as reliable detection signals.
💡 State-Sponsored Cyber Operations
Nation-state actors conduct sophisticated campaigns for espionage, sabotage, and influence operations. Their resources exceed typical criminal organizations, enabling zero-day exploitation, long-term persistent access, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
