Scutum is a cloud-based Web application firewall (WAF) service developed and provided by bitforest inc., a Japanese cybersecurity company specializing in web application security. The service became available in June 2009 as a result of a joint development initiative between bitforest inc. and Secure Sky Technology Inc.[1]
History
[edit]- June 2009: Scutum was launched through a collaboration between bitforest inc. and Secure Sky Technology Inc.[2]
- 2013 onwards: bitforest introduced an AI-based detection engine using Bayesian network technology, replacing traditional signature-based detection.[3]
- 2017: A machine-learning–based anomaly detection feature was made available to identify traffic deviations per site.[4]
- August 2021: bitforest deployed its proprietary "Thinning" method based on Isolation Forests, improving detection rates by 17% while reducing false positives.[5]
Technical overview
[edit]Scutum’s detection engine combines:
- Bayesian networks: Probabilistic inference models to identify attack patterns.
- Anomaly detection: Site-specific learning to flag deviations from normal behavior.
- Thinning method: Tree preselection technique for improved classification using Isolation Forests.
