# Anomaly detection > This system analyzes patterns and identifies alterations in websites traffic, warning and offering the possibility of taking action ![icono de lupa](https://www.transparentedge.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/inicio_DetecAnomalias.svg) Accurate monitoring & alerts Anomaly detection: Complete visibility of your web landscape   Anomaly detection is crucial in today’s cybersecurity strategy due to the sophistication, disruption, and frequency of a new generation of threats. This system analyzes patterns and identifies alterations in the traffic of your websites, warns when they occur, and offers the possibility of triggering an incident reaction, for example, when you are suffering a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

We provide the ability to trigger our systems if you need to mitigate an incident. ## Easy to use Detections can be configured easily through our control panel. It allows you to enable or disable detections for every site as well as to customize threshold and sensitivity parameters depending on the website’s nature. In addition, you can easily parameterize the list of exceptions. The Transparent Edge anomaly detection system currently considers six types of anomalies Increase in traffic Using the 95th percentile approach, we examine the data stream to identify any significant increases in requests or bandwidth. In addition, the system compares this data to historical patterns to discern whether this is an anomaly or a recurring pattern. Hit ratio The system immediately identifies any abrupt drop in the hit ratio of your website. There are multiple factors that could contribute to this, such as changes in caching strategies or attempts to attack the origin by dodging the cache using random parameters. Request per IP Based on the calculation of the average number of requests per second for each user of your website. You will receive a notification if the requests per second of an IP address exceed three times the standard deviation as long as it is above the set sensitivity threshold. Response time A notification will be generated when the source platform is slow to respond, resulting in an unusual increase in response times. The normal distribution of the received data is evaluated to identify response time parameters that exceed the allowed limits. Status code Detect and report any significant increase in 503 errors on your website. Evaluating this type of error makes sense since, in Transparent Edge, we present all 50x errors as a 503 status code. Vulnerability scanner This feature alerts you when a malicious user attempts to scan your web page for vulnerabilities in your code. Knowing this, you can make automatic or manual decisions to respond to such attempts. In addition, you will be alerted even when the WAF is in detection mode. IP crawler The system identifies suspicious access from IP addresses associated with unauthorized crawlers or bots. This behavior can impact website performance, extract sensitive information, or prepare for a larger attack. ![diagrama de programa](https://www.transparentedge.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/aqua_icono_11_3x-150x150.png) Mid-tier Detection analyzes traffic patterns at intermediate layers to detect anomalous behavior. This enables the detection of bypass attempts, malicious automation, or infrastructure misuse before they reach the origin. Anomalies by country The system alerts when traffic spikes or unusual behavior are detected from a specific country. This type of anomaly is often indicative of distributed attacks, fraudulent access, or mass vulnerability scanning. [Talk to an expert](https://www.transparentedge.eu/en/contact/) ## FAQ Yes. Each type of anomaly (traffic spike, drop in hit ratio, increase in 503 errors, etc.) has configurable sensitivity thresholds and parameters per site. You can also create exception lists to exclude IPs, ranges, or patterns that you know are legitimate. Both. You can configure automatic responses for certain types of anomalies (for example, triggering DDoS mitigation rules when an anomalous traffic spike is detected) or limit it to notifications so your team can decide what action to take. The system starts generating alerts from day one, comparing incoming traffic to configurable thresholds. Accuracy improves as it accumulates historical data: with one or two weeks of normal traffic, the benchmark patterns are already representative for most sites. Yes. Alerts can be configured to arrive via email, and the system allows integration with external tools through webhooks. If you use Slack, PagerDuty, or other incident management platforms, you can connect them to receive notifications where your team is already working. ![download](https://www.transparentedge.eu/wp-content/themes/transparent-edge-2027/assets/img/download-icon.png) ### Ready to learn about our anomalies detection system?
