Show me an alternative that I can deploy despite developers having both the lack of knowledge and complete indifference of security. They don't care and they aren't forced to conform to any security standards, so a WAF is literally the only thing I can do to try to improve things. I can't rewrite all their code for them. Management hears about a WAF and makes that a requirement and moves on.
If software development was a professional trade group, we could make membership require security training, and industry standards for ensuring security. But that'll never happen. It would mean them giving themselves more work to do, and we all know how lazy devs are.
