Ivan, co-founder of Wallarm, here.

There are few different tasks for machine learning.

1. Traffic clustering (hierarchical clustering algorithms). We use ML to understand how your application works in terms of business logic. E.g. clustering numbers of HTTP requests for /login as cluster determined by (HTTP_header->HOST="yoursite.com" + HTTP_URL->"/login" + ...).

2. Data profiling inside clusters. We use statistical distribution algorithms to understand which data is normal for fields POST->login and POST->password inside cluster from p.1. It is not hardcoded data templates like "only digits" or smth like this. Wallarm generates profiles dynamically.

3. Fuzzy search. Those data which is abnormal (from p.2), we understand if it looks like XSS or SQLi or any other attack or not.
