    Haven't seen this specifically, but have heard about some step-up against WAF environments.  Nothing specific.

    In my experience, I have come across a lot of WAFs. Some of them are very strong, others are very weak. Yes, sometimes they do manage to successfully prevent XSS or SQL injection, but I have never evaluated a WebApp where a WAF managed to successfully mitigate all the vulnerabilities I discovered, let alone the majority of the OWASP top 10.

    A WAF should be viewed as an additional security measure rather than a comprehensive response to security threats.
