SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 19, 2024 – NSFOCUS, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, proudly announces that in the recently released IDC report, China WAAP Vendor Technology Capability Assessment, 2024, NSFOCUS’s WAAP technology received outstanding evaluations with perfect scores in five key areas: Web Application Firewall (WAF), Bot Traffic Management, Threat Intelligence, Application-layer DDoS Protection, and Industry Applications.
The report evaluates WAAP providers from various perspectives, including technical capabilities, features, and advantages, offering insights into the market’s comprehensive strength. It also provides future market and technology development forecasts and product planning suggestions for WAAP products.
According to the report, “As WAAP products and technologies continue to mature, customers’ reliance on WAAP products to enhance web security will further increase, driving rapid growth in the web application security market.”
“With the acceleration of enterprise digitalization and the popularity of microservices, API traffic is increasing daily, making API protection imperative. Therefore, API protection has become a crucial core capability in WAAP products. WAAP providers need to continue strengthening WAF, CC-type DDoS attack protection, and bot management while investing more in API protection research and development. Moreover, the application of large models to WAAP products will significantly enhance WAF, DDoS attack defense, bot management, and API security, potentially revolutionizing WAAP’s security capabilities,” said Wang Junmin, IDC Research Director.
