Ask HN: Who Invented the First WAF (Web Application Firewall)
I know Checkpoint invented the first physical firewall, but who invented the first Web Application Firewall? Wikipedia sites Perfecto Technologies but the source is Perfecto's PR. Any idea?
- nickdyyz 9y agoThe first "WAF" likely emerged from simple rules and logic applied at the server level or on an edge device. Check out modsecurity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModSecurity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModSecurity but modesec seems to have emerged after Perfecto.
