Radware Cloud Application Protection Services

What it does

Radware Cloud Application Protection Services is a cloud-delivered web application and API protection (WAAP) suite that surrounds applications, APIs, and generative AI tools with integrated modules feeding a shared detection layer. It pairs a negative security model with an automated positive security model built from behavioral analysis, learning each application's legitimate behavior and blocking traffic that deviates. Coverage spans web applications, APIs, client-side supply chains, automated bot threats, and large language model (LLM) prompts across on-premises, Kubernetes, hybrid, and public cloud environments.

How it works

The service runs real-time cloud protection engines for web application firewall (WAF), bot management, API protection, client-side protection, and Web DDoS mitigation, coordinated by Radware's EPIC-AI reasoning layer that correlates signals across engines and third-party enforcement points. The WAF auto-learns application behavior and continuously tunes policies to reduce false positives, while API protection continuously discovers endpoints and models business logic to stop abuse. Bot Manager applies behavioral algorithms and real-time signatures with CAPTCHA-less challenges, and an LLM Firewall inspects generative AI prompts. Cross-module correlation compiles related detections into a single attack story.

Credentials and traction

Radware holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 27701, and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications, and supports PCI DSS 4.0 and HIPAA obligations. KuppingerCole named Radware a Leader in its 2025 WAAP Leadership Compass, and QKS placed it as a Leader in the Q3 2025 SPARK Matrix for Web Application Firewall.
