Cloud web application and API protection platforms provide protection from a broad range of sophisticated runtime attacks. Security and risk management leaders can use this Market Guide to analyze the cloud WAAP market and select solutions that meet their organization’s needs.
Key Findings
- API protection and security is now a primary interest and driver in the process of selecting cloud web application and API protection (cloud WAAP) solutions.
- Cloud WAAP provided as a service is now the dominant form factor to consider when selecting and acquiring WAAP services.
- The cloud WAAP market continues to suffer from excessive false positives and is driving a trend toward the adoption of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) support to correlate and reduce alert fatigue and produce actionable events.
- Bot maturity and success rates are outpacing the capabilities of cloud WAAP bot management and protection. Advancement in bot technology shows that a sophisticated bot is now better at bypassing CAPTCHAs than humans
