NFOCUS WAF is a new entrant to the WAF market. This new entrant to the WAF market is unique but not due to its bell and whistles but rather because it is the first Chinese WAF we are aware of. NFOCUS is not a new company and exist since 2000, but just recently started operations in the US. Based on its customers list, the company is well established in the Chinese market. This is a unique move as Chinese companies have very rarely penetrated the enterprise IT environment and are practically none esisting in information security. Does this mark a new area in which Chinese companies will compete world-wide?

While details are scant. It just promise innovative features such as combining scan and outbound protection with the customary WAF features. The product is a transparent proxy appliance.

Do you have experience with the NFOCUS WAF? We would love to hear about it.
