Application firewalls, as the name implies, operate very much like network firewalls. They are installed in front of, and are typically transparent to, an application. They examine incoming application requests to spot and prevent various types of attacks. There are three types of application firewalls: XML application firewalls, Web application firewalls, and traditional application proxy firewalls.
