Art of Defence
German web application security vendor that sold the hyperguard distributed web application firewall (dWAF) through OEM and reseller partners. It is now defunct, having been acquired.
Art of Defence GmbH, founded in 2005 in Regensburg, built hyperguard, a software-based distributed web application firewall. It was offered as SaaS, a software plug-in, and a virtual or hardware appliance. It protected web apps on-premise and in the cloud, and was available through the AWS partner program. It sold only through OEM/technology and reseller partners to financial services, eCommerce, telecom and public-sector customers. Bayern Kapital and KfW were investors. PitchBook records an acquisition by Zeus Technology on 9 June 2011. It is not an AI company: it was a web security firm, and the sources list it as acquired or acqui-hired.
