You’re looking in the wrong place: The case for application-layer hunting

Traditional cybersecurity tools are missing critical threats—and attackers are taking advantage.

In this on-demand webinar, Ansie Williamson (Head of SOC) explores how modern cyber threats are evolving beyond networks and endpoints, targeting application logic, user journeys, and business processes.

Discover why attackers no longer need to break in - and how they’re successfully executing fraud and abuse through legitimate application behaviour.

What you will learn:

• Why traditional security controls fail to detect modern attacks

• How business logic attacks and application abuse are rising

• The shift from signature-based detection to behaviour-based threat hunting

• How to identify anomalies in user journeys, API calls, and transactions

• Practical steps to implement application-layer threat hunting in your SOC

• How to align cybersecurity with business context to prevent fraud and reduce risk

Who should watch:

• SOC analysts and security operations teams

• Cybersecurity leaders and CISOs

• Fraud prevention and risk professionals

• Application security and DevSecOps teams

Why this matters:

Modern attackers are exploiting a critical blind spot: your applications.

By leveraging authorised access, automation, and subtle behavioural manipulation, threats can operate undetected - without triggering traditional alerts.

This session will help you:

• Move from reactive alerts to proactive threat hunting

• Detect threats hidden in normal-looking activity

• Strengthen your organisation’s cyber resilience and fraud prevention capabilities
