Modern Applications and Architectures Demand a New Web Application Firewall

Modern Applications and Architectures Demand a New Web Application Firewall explores three areas: architecture, development and infrastructure, and how they necessitate a new approach to web application security, namely a new breed of web application firewalls (WAF).
