Radware named Strong Performer in 2024 Gartner WAAP report
Radware, a cyber security and application delivery solutions provider, has been acknowledged as a Strong Performer in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) Report. According to the report, 99% of Radware's customers are willing to recommend the company's services.
Gartner defines cloud WAAP as a security solution category that safeguards web applications from a wide array of runtime attacks. These solutions offer protection against the top 10 web application security risks as outlined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), as well as automated threats. Additionally, they provide API security and are capable of identifying and defending against multiple sophisticated Layer 7 attacks aimed at web applications. 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. Our team of experts work diligently to defend our customers on cybersecurity's front line each day."
Several customer reviews featured in the report highlight Radware’s efficient and effective services. One customer, a Network Architect in the banking sector, shared, "The Radware CWAF team was helpful in getting the protection service operational within 30 minutes and the overall support has also been exceptional. With a local in-country CWAF, there was no noticeable latency accessing our web applications." Similarly, a Manager of IT Services praised the product for its ease of use and management, stating, "The overall experience is great. I like the product very much. Easy to use and manage. Overall, the product is superb."

A Chief Security Officer in the government sector also lauded Radware for being a reliable and professional security platform provider. "They have proven to be reliable, effective, and highly professional in their approach to enterprise security," the officer stated.
