💡 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.
💡 Network Segmentation Benefits
Proper network segmentation limits the blast radius of breaches. Even if attackers compromise one segment, properly configured network boundaries prevent lateral movement to critical systems, databases, and administrative interfaces.
