• “It combines a negative security model using signatures, rules, and expressions with a positive model that automatically learns and maps the application to create an optimized security policy using machine learning algorithms.”
• “Radware Bot Manager features a unique semi-supervised machine learning algorithm that identifies the intent of each request…to give zero-day protection to applications and reduce false positives.” 
• “Radware's suite of services shows strength in providing a wide range of capabilities to protect against layer 3, 4, and 7 DDoS and DoS attacks, as well as providing low latency, high bandwidth capacity, and a good forwarding rate.”
• “The architecture of the solution provides excellent coverage of PoPs worldwide.”
• “The Radware suite leverages both internal and external sources for threat intelligence and has strong capabilities in this area.”

The Leadership Compass Report notes the breadth of Radware’s suite of application protection services. This includes its Cloud Application Protection Services, which encompasses its Cloud WAF, Bot Manager, and API and Web DDoS Protection. It also includes Radware’s AppWall® standalone WAF, Alteon® application delivery controller, Kubernetes WAF, Cloud DDoS Protection Service, and DefensePro® DDoS Protection.

In the report, Radware’s suite of application protection services receives positive and strong positive ratings across a wide variety of areas. The coverage areas range from security, functionality, deployment, and interoperability to usability, innovativeness, market position, financial strength, and ecosystem.
