F5 Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls

Business Wire
F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced that it has
been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant
of its Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls (WAFs),
published August 7, 2017.
“Application Security Manager—our WAF—has always been one of
F5’s most popular products. Scores of customers have relied on it
to protect apps from threats and defend against vulnerabilities,”
said Ben Gibson, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer at
F5. “Recently we’ve expanded to meet our customers’ needs in
the cloud by offering that same trusted security in new ways—as a
managed service via Silverline WAF; as an agile, easy-to-deploy
self-service portal via Silverline WAF Express; and most recently
as a click-to-deploy service in public cloud marketplaces like
Microsoft Azure. We believe our placement in the Magic Quadrant
reflects the trust customers place in F5 WAF solutions as they
protect their applications on-premises and, increasingly, in the
cloud.”
In describing the market, Gartner characterizes WAF as “driven
by a customer’s need to protect public and internal web
applications when they are deployed locally (on-premises) or
remotely (hosted, cloud-based or as a service). WAFs protect web
applications and APIs against a variety of attacks, notably
including injection attacks and application-layer denial of service
(DoS). They should not only provide signature-based protection, but
should also support positive security models and/or anomaly
detection.” 1
