Business Wire
F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced that it has been
named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Web Application Firewalls,
Q2 2018 report, published June 25, 2018.
The Forrester Research report, authored by analyst Amy
DeMartine, evaluated vendors on current offering, product strategy,
and market presence, and gave F5 the highest scores in the attack
detection and attack response criteria.
“Applications are consistently amongst the top attack targets
for bad actors, and our goal is to provide comprehensive protection
where it is needed most,” said Ram Krishnan, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Security at F5. “We believe the results of
this report reflect the trust that F5 customers and vendors place
in our WAF solutions to protect their applications on-premises and
across public and hybrid cloud deployments.”
WAFs have evolved into tools that can greatly reduce the risk of
an application breach. Today’s top-performing WAFs are continually
updated and offer a variety of detection and response
techniques.
The report cites F5’s multiple consumption models including the
“Silverline-managed service and self-managed offering as well as
the Advanced WAF appliance and its traditional Application Security
Manager.” It calls out F5’s support service in its profile, noting
“customers praised the support they receive from the company.”
Out of ten WAF vendors evaluated, F5 was one of three companies
placing in the Leaders category. The full report is available at:
