hi

I want to detect web vulnerabilities for example "XSS" or " SQLI" with splunk. for this target i collect apache log into my splunk server. and till now I find match string with signature based rule for detect them and its implement with Regex in search app of splunk. so my question is there any other way to detect this vulnerabilities without app or with app (ex :Splunk Enterprise Security)?

thanks!
