# Signal Sciences

## What is Signal Sciences?

Signal Sciences is a software as a service (SaaS) company that offers security monitoring and defense for web applications, APIs, and microservices. Signal Sciences includes next-generation web application firewalls (WAF) and runtime application self-protection (RASP).

## Why Should You Use the Signal Sciences Connector?

The Signal Sciences connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:

- ensure assets are managed per your security policies
- derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
