This allows us to track all unordinary presentation layer requests to database being analysed and actively blocked, preventing SQL injection attempts. The application itself tracks any failed login attempts if the request has gone through the Firewall and WAF.

Data protection measures are continuously reviewed in a PDCA cycle.
