What is the difference between Primary Response and an application firewall?
Application firewalls are designed to protect web traffic by inspecting the incoming and outgoing HTTP/HTTPS packets against a set of predefined web server-centric filters. Because they are not capable of monitoring actual (web) application execution processes, application firewalls require difficult manual fine tuning to protect highly customized web servers. In addition, application firewalls are susceptible to spoofing, evasion and DDoS attacks.
