About the WSGW
The Web Security Gateway is a security-centric distribution of the Apache web server, bundled with additional security modules, and configured as a front-end (reverse) HTTP proxy. The goal is to mirror most of the features of commercial web application "firewalls", with free and Open-Source software.
The Web Security Gateway provides a configurable caching, authentication, input validation, and IDS / IPS layer for web applications. It can be placed in front of diverse web environments, and is capable of protecting almost any web application, without modifications to the code running on the protected app.
