Signal Sciences, now a part of Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), today
announced that it was named a Visionary in the October 2020 Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls1. This marks the
second consecutive year in which Gartner has recognized Signal
Sciences as a Visionary within the industry, an acknowledgement of
Signal Sciences’ ability to execute and completeness of vision.
“Signal Sciences is dedicated to revolutionizing web application
security. We believe our recognition as a Visionary in the 2020
Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAFs underscores our commitment to this
imperative,” said Andrew Peterson, co-founder of Signal Sciences.
“We’re thrilled to have been recognized, and after recently joining
forces with Fastly, we look forward to working together to create
simplified, frictionless security solutions that scale - solutions
that both developers and security operations teams will love.”
This announcement follows the February 2020 Gartner Peer
Insights Customers’ Choice for WAF2, based on customer reviews.
Signal Sciences currently has an overall rating of five out of five
stars, based on 68 reviews, as of 20 October 2020. Signal Sciences
has been named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice two times
in a row.
Signal Sciences was recently acquired by Fastly, provider of an
edge compute platform, in early October 2020. In a market where
organizations are increasingly moving from single focused
solutions, such as WAF, towards more consolidated solutions, such
as web application and API protection (WAAP), Fastly and Signal
Sciences are uniquely positioned to provide more innovative and
disruptive solutions in a modern software development environment.
Together, the two companies empower organizations to both secure
and drive their digital transformation.
Fast and easy to implement, Signal Sciences’ Next Generation WAF
protects more than 40,000 cloud-native, legacy, and serverless
applications and over a trillion production requests per month.
Signal Sciences enables businesses across a number of verticals to
protect their most critical web applications, APIs, and
microservices against the full spectrum of threats, including OWASP
Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQLi and XSS, as well as account
takeovers, brute force attacks, bad bots, and application abuse and
misuse, among others.
Signal Sciences also boasts more than 40 integrations with the
most common DevOps tools and security platforms, such as Slack,
Jira, PagerDuty, Datadog, Splunk, Envoy, and Cisco Threat Response,
among others. The solution offers flexible WAF and RASP deployment
options across any cloud, on-premise, containers, or hybrid
environments with full feature parity and a unified management
system across platforms. To learn more about Signal Sciences, click
