1 Obtaining extended information about the IP address allows you to determine the geographical location based on the IP address, check the presence of the address in the lists of proxy servers: Tor, VPN, Mobile or hosting sites, etc. The functionality is included in the software price and does not require the connection of third-party databases.
2 SSL termination is configured by means of a web server.


🔗 Nemesida® AI – a machine learning module

Accuracy of identification of the attacks Nemesida AI is about 53.04%* more efficient than signature analysis.
Machine learning method The Nemesida WAF operation is based on classical machine learning algorithm «Random Forest», that is able to detect attack with minimum response time, nearly without false positives.
Hardware resource requirements Unlike training models using neural networks, classical machine learning algorithms do not require much processing power, so the processor of the Intel Core i3 family or higher will be sufficient for calculations.
Additional features
  • Adaptation of WAF to a mutable application
  • Automatic creation of behavioral models
  • Detection of anomalies and assessment of their severity level
  • Identification of new signs of attacks, including the identification of «zero day» attacks
  • Behavioral models management interface (additional training of models)
  • Ability to change the training period of behavioral models
  • Additional training of models using a backup copy of the training sample

* Test result of Nemesida WAF using only signature analysis and AI/ML (detection accuracy: 47.2% and 99.78%, respectively). The testing was performed using the specialized WAF Bypass Tool. Based on the test results, the use of machine learning improves detection accuracy by 52.58%.

The result of testing Nemesda WAF


Test results of Nemesida WAF using signature analysis only (top) and machine learning (bottom)

The tables above clearly show how the use of machine learning increases the accuracy of attack detection. Using only the signature method for detecting attacks allows you to block 47.2% of attacks, and using machine learning increases this figure to 99.78%.

Diagram of Nemesida WAF modules interaction
To visualize the difference between signature-based analysis and machine learning, you can use the free WAF Bypass Tool, which assesses the security level of a web application.

The tool sends over 2000 requests with various payloads to a WAF-protected web application and collects statistics, which it displays as a table of results.

1 Includes Nginx, the Nemesida WAF dynamic module and the Nemesida AI MLA machine learning agent.

  • Nemesida WAF dynamic module carries out a signature analysis of requests coming to the server and, based on the behavioral models built by Nemesida AI MLC, makes a decision to block them or transfer them to other modules.
  • Nemesida AI MLA machine learning module applies behavioral models built by Nemesida AI MLC to requests received from the dynamic module and sends a blocking command.
  • Nemesida AI MLC machine learning module is designed to build behavioral models and detect other anomalies (for example, Brute-force, Flood, DDoS L7).
  • The Nemesida WAF API is designed to receive information about attacks and identified vulnerabilities, as well as transmit information about blocked requests and the results of the Nemesida AI and Nemesida WAF Scanner modules to the PostgreSQL DBMS.
  • Nemesida WAF Cabinet is designed for visualization and analysis of the events of the components from the PostgreSQL DBMS, management of Nemesida WAF settings, management of OpenAPI query schemes, configuration of the use of behavioral models built and applied by the Nemesida AI module, as well as systematization of information about anomalies and identified vulnerabilities.
  • The Nemesida WAF Scanner Vulnerability Scanner is designed to detect vulnerabilities in a protected web application.
