TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- QKS Group has named Radware a technology leader in its 2024 SPARK Matrix™ analysis of the Web Application Firewall (WAF) market.

Radware was chosen as a leader in the 2024 SPARK Matrix^TM for Web Application Firewall due to its outstanding capabilities in securing web applications and APIs while enhancing performance and operational efficiency in complex multi-cloud environments.

"Radware provides an adaptive and automated WAF solution that offers a unique value proposition by integrating seamlessly with hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures," said Sanjay Kumar, an Analyst at QKS Group. "Radware's platform leverages AI-powered advanced machine learning algorithms to deliver real-time protection, automatically generating and adjusting security policies based on a combination of positive and negative security models designed to minimize false positives. Radware's WAF's ability to protect APIs, defend against OWASP Top 10 threats and zero-day vulnerabilities, and provide out-of-path deployment ensures organizations can secure their applications without impacting performance."

"We are honored to be recognized as a Web Application Firewall market leader for the fourth consecutive year in a row," said Sharon Trachtman, Radware's Chief Marketing Officer. "Applications are at the core of today's organizations, essential to internal-, partner- and customer-facing business. To help our customers further protect their applications in the face of increasingly frequent and intense cyber-attacks, we intend to continue to raise the bar in application security."

The WAF market has experienced significant growth due to the rise in web application attacks and the increasing use of APIs in modern businesses. This convergence has driven demand for advanced WAF solutions that can secure API traffic, protect against emerging threats, and integrate seamlessly across cloud and hybrid environments. As cloud-native applications continue to expand, the need for intelligent, automated WAF solutions has grown, and vendors are increasingly integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for proactive threat detection. The WAF market is also expected to focus more on API security, with greater emphasis on securing microservices and protecting business logic from manipulation. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, WAF solutions will play an increasingly crucial role in maintaining the security of digital infrastructures and web applications.

QKS Group defines Web Application Firewall as a critical security solution for protecting web applications from various threats, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and zero-day vulnerabilities. Web Application Firewall solutions are essential for safeguarding web and API traffic across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, ensuring continuous protection against evolving threats and attack vectors. The key goal of WAF is to provide real-time monitoring and automated threat mitigation while ensuring minimal disruption to web application performance.
