💡 Privacy-Preserving Threat Detection
Advanced techniques enable threat detection while minimizing privacy impact. Encrypted DNS, differential privacy in analytics, and federated learning for threat models allow effective security monitoring without unnecessary surveillance of legitimate user behavior.
💡 SQL Injection Campaigns
SQL injection remains one of the most common web attack vectors. Attackers inject malicious SQL code through input fields to extract database contents, modify data, or gain administrative access. Automated scanners test for SQLi vulnerabilities at massive scale.
