Every 1000 lines of code averages 15 critical security defects (US Dept of Defense) The average business app has 150,000-250,000 lines of code (Software Magazine) The average security defect takes 75 minutes to diagnose and 6 hours to fix (5-year Pentagon Study) Even if you consider those figures are exaggerated (positively or negatively) the cost of fixing applications is prohibitive WAF always a very financially sound option!

Cisco Confidential 19 Alternative Network Deployment Model AXG Web WWW1 Application HTTP Firewall Internet Full Reverse WWW2 Proxy External HTTP and XML Web Services WWW3 Consumers Portal Portal WWW WWW DNS Points to AXG WAF when Asked for WWWx The AXG Web Application Firewall is a full reverse proxy. In other words, you can have the DNS server point to the IP address of the AXG to represent the actual Web server. At that point, the AXG accepts all requests destined to the Web server, filters them, and sends them out. The response comes back to the WAF as well for total control of the session.
