I've been researching various Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions to better protect my web applications from common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more. I understand that there are both hardware-based and software-based options available, as well as cloud-based WAFs.
Can anyone share their experiences with different WAF tools, especially what their pros and cons are? I'm particularly interested in ease of deployment, customization options, and overall effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Additionally, if anyone has insights into managing false positives and performance impacts, that would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.
