Atomic ModSecurity Rules vs open-appsec comparison

A web application firewall (WAF) capability provides defense of websites and web applications from hackers and malware by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web app and the Internet. The WAF protects against a variety of application layer attacks including credential theft, code injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cookie poisoning, CSRF, SQL injection, DoS, ransomware, and more. ModSecurity, sometimes referred to as ModSec, is an open-source web security framework that when combined with rules allows users to build WAFs for free.

open-appsec builds on machine learning to provide pre-emptive web app & API threat protection against OWASP-Top-10 and zero-day attacks.
It can be deployed as add-on to Kubernetes Ingress, NGINX, Envoy, Kong and API Gateways.
open-oppsec simplifies maintenance as there is no threat signature upkeep and exception handling, like common in many WAF solutions.
