Detecting what SIEMs miss: the web & app audit

Traditional SIEMs watch logs. Nexus also understands your stack — and catches the developer-layer mistakes that never show up in a log line.

A different vantage point

The Nexus agent reads configuration the way an attacker would — from the outside and from the filesystem — for Laravel, Next.js and Nginx. It correlates what it finds with the rule engine so a misconfiguration becomes a prioritized, MITRE-mapped alert instead of a footnote.
