ASM vs Palo Alto Firewall

Hi,

 

From time to time we see customer confusion between two kinds of application firewalls, a Web Application Firewall and an application firewall like PaloAlto Networks.

 

I just saw that PaloAlto published a Whitepaper that describes the differences between a WAF and their Application Firewall. This Whitepaper summarizes the differences in a pretty accurate way (aside from their comment on WAF performance which isn't accurate for F5's platforms)

 

You can look at the document here http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/literature/techbriefs/PaloAltoNetworks_v_WAF.pdf

 

 

Cheers,
