Traditional attack detection relies on signature matching and packet inspection, but modern attacks exploit business logic rather than infrastructure vulnerabilities. Context-aware detection analyzes request patterns, user behavior, and application-specific flows to identify abuse that looks legitimate in isolation. By understanding how requests relate to each other and the application's intended behavior, security systems can detect attacks like credential stuffing, inventory manipulation, and rate limit probing that signature-based approaches miss.
