Radware has been recognised as a Leader and Fast Mover in the GigaOm Radar for Application and API Security.

The GigaOm Radar evaluated 16 leading application and API security solutions, aiming to assist organisations in making informed decisions about their security investments. Radware received particular recognition for its approaches to vulnerability detection, account takeover protection, and bot management.

The report highlighted Radware's coverage of key industry benchmarks. According to the GigaOm Radar, "Radware's comprehensive coverage of OWASP Top 10 web application security risks and Top 10 API security vulnerabilities, coupled with real-time adaption capabilities, demonstrates a cutting-edge approach to AI-enhanced vulnerability detection that goes beyond the basics to offer advanced protection and automated response."

The company's machine-learning-driven approach to detecting and mitigating attacks was also noted. GigaOm wrote, "Radware's system also includes ML-based anomaly detection that can identify anomalies on targeted endpoints and automatically push real-time signatures to mitigate attacks, demonstrating a proactive and adaptive approach to account takeover protection that goes beyond standard measures."

GigaOm further commented on Radware's multilayered security strategy, stating, "Radware earned a strong score due to a multilayered strategy that includes preemptive protection to block unwanted IPs and identities, AI-powered behavioral-based detection that catches threats others might miss, and advanced mitigation offering a wide range of granular and accurate options."

We are honoured to be recognised among the market's leading providers of application and API security solutions by GigaOm."
