But when you try to create one such application you should definitely know how to build an application and the technology stack behind it.

Application Performance Management is all about gaining a complete picture of your applications' inner workings so you can make sure they're performing as they should. APM tools make it easier for developers to spot issues that are preventing their applications from providing outstanding user experiences. Furthermore, these monitoring services can help to limit the danger of fatal outages and downtime, which can be extremely costly for any company.

We have recently published a script for the integration of the Anomaly Detection System (ADS) with a Check Point firewall. This ensures automated threat detection and response where attackers are blocked from accessing the network resources and causing even further harm.
