F5 Showcased for its Overall, Product,
Innovation, and Market Leadership
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced that it has been positioned as
an Overall Leader in the 2024 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass
Report for Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). The report provides an
overview of the WAF market and assesses vendors based on
innovation, market presence, and technology. F5 is spotlighted as a
forerunner, setting the bar for excellence in cybersecurity
defenses.
Applications are at the heart of all digital experiences, and
when they are secure, they unlock value and potential. But just as
apps have become critical for life online, they have also become
harder to protect. Today’s apps are built on multiple
architectures, distributed over various cloud environments, and
connected by an exploding number of APIs – complexity that requires
more skill and resources to manage, while creating more points of
vulnerability for cybercriminals to attack.
To address these challenges, F5 offers the most comprehensive
WAF solutions on the market and is the only solution provider that
secures, delivers, and optimizes any app, any API, anywhere. F5’s
WAF capabilities -- across all of its product families -- are
designed to solve its customers’ most difficult hybrid and
multicloud pain points.
“F5 is well known for their application protection solutions,
including F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP, NGINX App Protect, and BIG-IP
Advanced WAF evaluated in this Leadership Compass,” said Osman
Celik, research analyst at KuppingerCole and author of the report.
“F5’s solutions offer versatile deployment models and integration
with major platforms, making it a strong candidate for enterprises
with complex, multicloud environments.”
The report covered multiple products within F5’s portfolio, and
highlighted the leadership of F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP, noting
that the solution distinguishes itself with an impressive suite of
capabilities that deliver robust protection for any application.
The Leadership Compass report identifies F5 as outshining
competitors in multiple expanded critical areas including API
security, bot management, and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
defense.
The report also emphasizes F5’s sophisticated approach to
integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
within its WAF solutions. This strategic use of AI technology
enables F5 to offer dynamic protection mechanisms that are both
predictive and adaptive, safeguarding digital assets against a
multitude of threats.
The Leadership Compass Report highlights F5’s strength in
several areas:
- Comprehensive DDoS mitigation infrastructure designed to defend
against sophisticated attacks.
- AI and ML-powered behavioral analysis that enhances threat
detection and response.
- Scalable deployment models that support cloud, on-premises,
containers, serverless platforms, and VM instances.
- Superior API security that safeguards against the OWASP Top 10
for APIs, addressing critical vulnerabilities with precision.
“We are honored to be recognized by KuppingerCole as an overall
leader in the 2024 Leadership Compass Report for WAFs,” said Greg
Maudsley, senior director, product marketing at F5. “Our WAF
solutions stand at the forefront of safeguarding web applications
as we continue to integrate advanced AI and ML technologies to
deliver proactive, adaptable defenses in a rapidly changing cyber
landscape. This acknowledgment reaffirms that our solutions deliver
the capabilities that most effectively meet customers’ needs in
protecting any application or API.”
