We're excited to announce that Wallarm node 4.8 is now available!

The new node’s version contains significant enhancements to our DenyList functionality, a very effective defensive measure against high-volume attacks (e.g., brute-force, path traversal, bot attacks, etc.).

In pursuit of enhancing usability and understanding of attack profiles, we gather detailed statistics about all blocked packets. Now, you can analyze not only the initial packets that led to the blocking of a particular source, but you can also see the total number of packets blocked after a source has been added to the DenyList.

This improvement will allow you to evaluate the power of attacks and more accurately analyze event statistics by various parameters. To provide a better perspective of each attack, examples of blocked packets will be preserved for every incident.

We believe this functionality will serve as a powerful tool in understanding and combating high-volume attacks. 

You can find more information about this functionality in our documentation.
