La seguridad avanzada de APIs usa reglas de detección para detectar patrones inusuales en el tráfico de APIs que podrían representar la actividad maliciosa. Estas reglas incluyen modelos de aprendizaje automático, entrenados con datos de APIs reales y reglas descriptivas, basadas en tipos conocidos de amenazas a las APIs.
En la siguiente tabla, se enumeran las reglas de detección y sus descripciones
Regla de detección
Descripción
Un modelo de aprendizaje automático que detecta el scraping de APIs, que es el proceso de extraer información específica de las APIs con fines maliciosos.
Un modelo de aprendizaje automático para detectar anomalías (patrones inusuales de eventos) en el tráfico de APIs.
Brute Guessor
Proporción alta de errores de respuestas durante las 24 horas anteriores
Flooder
Proporción alta de tráfico de una IP en un período de 5 minutos
OAuth Abuser
Gran cantidad de sesiones de OAuth con una cantidad pequeña de usuarios-agentes en las últimas 24 horas
Robot Abuser
Gran cantidad de errores de rechazo 403 en las últimas 24 horas
Static Content Scraper
Proporción alta del tamaño de la carga útil de respuesta de una IP en un período de 5 minutos
TorListRule
Lista de IP de nodos de salida de Tor. Un nodo de salida de Tor es el último nodo de Tor que el tráfico pasa a través de la red de Tor antes de salir a Internet. La detección de nodos de salida de Tor indica que un agente envió tráfico a tus APIs desde la red de Tor, posiblemente con fines maliciosos.
Reglas de detección y aprendizaje automático
La seguridad avanzada de APIs usa modelos creados con los algoritmos de aprendizaje automático de Google para detectar amenazas contra la seguridad de tus APIs. Estos modelos están previamente entrenados en conjuntos de datos de tráfico de APIs reales (no en tus datos de tráfico actuales) que contienen amenazas de seguridad conocidas.
Como resultado, los modelos aprenden a reconocer patrones inusuales de tráfico de APIs, como la recopilación y anomalía de APIs, y los eventos de clústeres juntos en función de patrones similares.
Dos de las reglas de detección enumeradas anteriormente se basan en modelos de aprendizaje automático:

These rules include both\nmachine learning models, trained on real API data, and descriptive rules,\nbased on known types of API threats.\n| **Note:** The Advanced API Security [Abuse detection](/apigee/docs/api-security/abuse-detection) page uses detection rules to detect security incidents. A security incident is a group of events with similar patterns that could represent a security threat. Note that one incident might be triggered by multiple detection rules, in which case all of the rules that triggered the incident are listed in the Abuse detection [Environment details](/apigee/docs/api-security/abuse-detection#environment-details) view.\n\nThe following table lists the detection rules and their descriptions.\n\nAbout Advanced Anomaly Detection\n--------------------------------\n\nThe Advanced Anomaly Detection algorithm learns from your API traffic, taking into account\nfactors like error rates, traffic volume, request size, latency, geolocation, and other traffic\nmetadata at the environment level. If there are significant shifts in traffic patterns (for\nexample, a surge in traffic, error rates, or latency), the model flags the IP address that\ncontributed to the anomaly in Detected Traffic.\n| **Note:** Use of Advanced Anomaly Detection requires opting in to training the model on your API traffic data. For more information, see [Opt in for machine learning models for Abuse Detection](/apigee/docs/api-security/abuse-detection#opt-in-for-machine-learning-models-for-machine-learning).\n\nYou can also combine anomaly detection with\n[security actions](/apigee/docs/api-security/security-actions) to automatically flag\nor deny traffic that is detected as anomalous by the model. See the\n[\"Using Apigee Advanced API Security's Security Actions to Flag and Block Suspicious Traffic\"\ncommunity post](https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Cloud-Product-Articles/Using-Apigee-Advanced-API-Security-s-Security-Actions-to-Flag/ta-p/842645) for additional information.\n\n### Model behavior\n\nTo reduce the risk that bad actors can exploit the model, we do not expose specific details\nabout how the model works or how incidents are detected. However, this additional\ninformation can help you make the best use of anomaly detection:\n\n- **Accounting for seasonal variance:**Because the model is trained on your traffic data, it can recognize and account for seasonal traffic variances (such as holiday traffic), if your traffic data includes previous data for that pattern, such as the same holiday in a previous year.\n- **Surfacing anomalies:**\n - **For existing Apigee and hybrid customers:** Apigee recommends that you have at least 2 weeks of historical API traffic data and, for more accurate results 12 weeks of historical data is preferable. Advanced Anomaly Detection starts surfacing anomalies within six hours of opting in to model training.\n - **New Apigee users:** The model starts surfacing anomalies 6 hours after opt-in, if you have a minimum of 2 weeks of historical data. However, we recommend using caution when acting on detected anomalies until the model has at least 12 weeks of data for training. The model is continuously trained on your historical traffic data so that it becomes more accurate over time.\n\n### Limitations\n\nFor Abuse Detection Advanced Anomaly Detection:\n\n- Anomalies are detected at the environment level. Anomaly detection at an individual proxy level is not supported at this time.\n- Anomaly detection is not supported for VPC-SC customers at this time.\n\nMachine learning and detection rules\n------------------------------------\n\nAdvanced API Security uses models built with Google's machine learning algorithms to\ndetect security threats to your APIs. These models are pre-trained on real\nAPI traffic data sets (including your current traffic data, if enabled) that contain known\nsecurity threats. As a result,\nthe models learn to recognize unusual API traffic patterns, such as API scraping and anomalies,\nand cluster events together based on similar patterns.\n\nTwo of the detection rules are based on machine learning models:\n\n- Advanced API Scraper\n- Advanced Anomaly Detection\n\n| **Note:** The data used to train the machine learning models for the rules Advanced API Scraper and Advanced Anomaly Detection contain metadata, including source IP address, source geography, and the values of some HTTP request headers. However, the detection data received by the models do not include the actual values of this metadata. The model makes detections based on the statistical properties of the data, not on the values of the metadata."]]
