AppShield was an early Web application Firewall.[1] AppShield was conceptualized by Eran Reshef and Gili Raanan and was introduced to the market by Perfecto Technologies (now Sanctum) in the summer of 1999.[2] AppShield worked by inspecting incoming HTTP requests and blocking malicious attacks based on a dynamic policy which was composed by analyzing the outgoing HTML pages.[3][4][5] A 2002 ZDNet article noted that in the three years following its launch, it had been used by 60 Fortune 100 companies.[6]
Watchfire acquired Sanctum in 2004, and subsequently sold the intellectual property for AppShield to F5 Networks, which discontinued the product in favor of its competing TrafficShield product.[7]
