The proliferation of web-based enterprise applications and the increasing sophistication of application-layer attacks have exposed limitations in traditional Web Application Firewall (WAF) deployments. This paper presents a novel approach to web application security by integrating WAF capabilities directly into enterprise browsers, enabling context-aware, client-side security controls. We propose a comprehensive architecture that addresses the challenges of traditional network-based WAFs while introducing new capabilities for threat detection and mitigation. Furthermore, our approach significantly reduces response latency while maintaining equivalent security coverage. This paper details the technical implementation, evaluates performance metrics, and discusses the implications for enterprise security architectures.
