Key features of cloud WAAP include web application firewall (WAF), bot management, distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, and API protection.

Sharon Trachtman, Radware's Chief Marketing Officer, expressed gratitude for the recognition from their users. "It's a pleasure to be recognized by the customers who we serve," Trachtman remarked. "For us, knowing that 99% of Radware's customers would recommend our products to peers speaks volumes.
