Data (eyes) says it all!

I have been bitten by the"what does data say?" bug these days.

I love to find out and understand the trends these days through the eye of data ( professional hazard)


Here are come very interesting articles I cam across to understand the things that baffle me.

web application firewall vendors comparision

I plan to put our more articles regarding WAF (web application firewall).
But for now if you already know what WAF is and you are evaluating WAF vendors this post should help.
The are the top WAF vendors as per Gartner

But it's hard to compare the features etc. of the vendors without a compressed chart.


NSS Labs have evaluated different vendors extensively
Individual reports of their analysis can be found here in the test reports section for NSS Clients :-

More detailed analysis can be found here :-

Much more details (not on vendors though)  on WAF :-
