What’s with the WAF (Web Application Firewall)?
True, the name does not explain very well what it is and what it’s supposed to do, although you’d probably guess it has something to do with protecting a web application. And you’d be right.
In the recent years, Internet threats have shifted. Slowly in the beginning but increasingly rapidly in the last two years, from email to web based threats. In the past, hackers would use emails to distribute new threats, embedded into an email. Personally, I have not seen this for at least two years now, and the likely reason is because we all have anti viruses in place to protect us from email embedded threats.
