Wading Into the Wide World of WAF – Daniel Corbett – ESW #321
The WAF has a relatively long history with InfoSec. A few years back, we saw the traditional architecture separated by new technologies and philosophies on the best way to detect and stop web-borne attacks. In this episode with Daniel Corbett, we'll take a deep dive into the latest on WAF capabilities, what it means to be 'next-gen' in the WAF world, and how LLM AI like ChatGPT could influence the attacks we see (and have to defend against) in the near future.
