whitepaper Firewall Compressor: An Algorithm for Minimizing Firewall Policies2008-01-13 Michigan State University
  A firewall is a security guard placed between a private network and the outside Internet that monitors all incoming and outgoing packets. The function of a firewall is to examine every packet and decide whether to accept or discard it based upon the firewall's policy. This policy is specified as a sequence of (possibly conflicting) rules. With the explosive growth of Internet-based applications and malicious attacks, the number of rules in firewalls have been increasing rapidly, which consequently degrades network performance and throughput. This paper proposes Firewall Compressor, a framework that can significantly reduce the number of rules in a firewall while keeping the semantics of the firewall unchanged.

whitepaper Importance of Web Application Firewall Technology for Protecting Web-Based Resources2008-01-10 Cybertrust
  Web-based applications and services have changed the landscape of information delivery and exchange in today's corporate, government, and educational arenas. Ease of access, increased availability of information, and the richness of web services have universally increased productivity and operational efficiencies. These increases have led to heavier reliance on web-based services and greater integration of internal information systems and data repositories with web-facing applications. While motivations of attackers against a victim's corporate and organizational assets remain the same (financial, IP, identity theft, services disruption, or denial of service, for example), web applications enable a whole new class of vulnerabilities and exploit techniques such as SQL injection, cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery, to name a few.
