The following is a summary of changes in this pull request made by me, your security buddy 🤖.
Note that this summary is auto-generated and not meant to be a definitive list of security issues
but rather a helpful summary from a security perspective.

Summary:

The changes made to the README.md file provide a more detailed and comprehensive overview of the Bulwark project, highlighting its key security-focused features and architecture. The updated description emphasizes that Bulwark is a fast, modern, open-source web application security engine that simplifies the implementation of security controls and provides comprehensive visibility into web services.

Of particular interest from an application security perspective are the following points:

1. Detection-as-Code: Bulwark's approach of allowing security teams to write detections in a general-purpose programming language and execute them within a secure sandbox provides a flexible and customizable way to implement security controls. This can help organizations address evolving security threats more effectively.

2. Versioning and Compliance: The ability to version detections in source control and the transparency it provides can help organizations meet their audit and compliance obligations.

3. Anti-Fraud Capabilities: Bulwark's ability to host anti-fraud functionality and leverage application-level data and services can be a valuable feature for protecting web applications from fraud-related attacks.

4. Sandbox and Permission Model: The use of a sandbox and a permission-based model to control the actions of Bulwark plugins is a security-conscious approach that helps mitigate the risk of plugins exceeding their authority and potentially causing harm.

Overall, the changes to the README.md file demonstrate that the Bulwark project is taking a thoughtful and robust approach to addressing web application security challenges.
