# ASE attack detection

API Security Enforcer supports real time ASE attack detection and blocking for API Deception. ASE blocks hackers who probe a decoy API (see [API Deception Environment](pingintelligence_api_deception_environment_sideband.html)) and later try to access a real business API.

## Enable ASE detected attacks

Enable real-time ASE attack detection by running the following ASE command:

```
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin enable_ase_detected_attack
```

ASE detected attack is now enabled.

## Disable ASE detected attacks

Disable real-time ASE detected attacks by running the following command on the ASE command line:

```
/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin disable_ase_detected_attack
ASE detected attack is now disabled
```
