Akamai service to stop data center attacks
Akamai Technologies is introducing a cloud-based managed service called Web Application Firewall it claims will head off the bulk of Web applications attacks before they get inside corporate data centers.
Application firewalls within Akamai's network of more than 55,000 servers worldwide weed out the most common application exploits including SQL injection, cross-site scripting among others listed by the Open Web Application Security Project as the most prevalent.

Definitely a step in the right direction by incorporating the OWASP hitlist blocking into popular hosted services. I hope they will post metrics of their success and failure in the coming months.
