KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 -- Fastly Inc, a global edge cloud platform provider, has announced it was named a Challenger in the August 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Application and API Protection (WAAP).
This marks the first year in which Gartner has recognised Fastly as a Challenger, after two consecutive years of Signal Sciences being named a Visionary.
The move acknowledges Fastly’s significant gains in its ability to execute, its expanded WAAP portfolio, and a powerful integration of Signal Sciences’ world-class web application and API security solutions into Fastly’s large global network and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection capabilities.
“We believe this year’s move into the Challenger’s quadrant recognises our continued investments in the Signal Sciences integration into Fastly.
“By bringing these two powerful offerings together under one unified portfolio, teams can confidently provide indepth web application and API protection without compromising performance or deployment flexibility,” said Fastly Chief Product Architect, Sean Leach in a statement.
Fastly recently announced the beta availability of its next-gen web application firewall (WAF) edge-based agent on the Fastly edge cloud platform.
This is a major integration milestone in its continued work to protect apps and APIs in every environment - in the cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and now at the network edge.
Fastly’s acquisition of Signal Sciences continues to support its commitment to empower developers with superior detection capabilities and reliable attack indicators that go above and beyond traditional WAFs.
