Does WAAS handle Firewall capabilities?

[#1]

I'm know WAAS can handle application acceleration but I was wondering if it can also act as a firewall? If not, then putting a Firewall in front of a WAAS to handle Firewall services would create latency between the two WAAS sites would it not?

Thanks,

Alonzo,

WAAS does not have any built-in firewall capabilities.
