Fare Thee Well ModSecurity: End-of-Life and Last Commercial Rules Update for June 2024

A Fourteen-Year Journey Comes to an End

In June 2010, Trustwave acquired Breach Security, which brought with it the popular Open-Source Web Application Firewall ModSecurity for Apache. At that time, Trustwave relicensed the code under the Apache license. This relicensing allowed more public participation in the project, and 2012 saw the release of an IIS port from Microsoft and a port for Nginx.
