This marks the first year in which Gartner has recognized Fastly as a Challenger, after two consecutive years of Signal Sciences being named a Visionary. The move acknowledges Fastly\u2019s significant gains in its ability to execute, its expanded WAAP portfolio, and a powerful integration of Signal Sciences\u2019 world-class web application and API security solutions into Fastly\u2019s large global network and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection capabilities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe believe this year\u2019s move into the Challenger\u2019s quadrant recognizes 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 in-depth web application and API protection without compromising performance or deployment flexibility,\u201d said Sean Leach, Chief Product Architect at Fastly. \u201cAs organizations build web apps in their drive to meet evolving customer expectations in a digital-first world, fast and effective deployment of WAAP technology anywhere in a software stack is vital to innovating safely and at scale. We\u2019re honored to be recognized, and look forward to continuing to bring simplified security solutions to developers and security teams around the world.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFastly <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fastly.com%2Fpress%2Fpress-releases%2Ffastly-hits-critical-milestone-in-extending-app-and-api-protection-to-the&amp;esheet=52495459&amp;newsitemid=20210922005764&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=recently+announced&amp;index=3&amp;md5=63b4017778907a955ba4ca9f86b940e9\">recently announced<\/a> 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 &#8211; in the cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and now at the network edge. By pushing out rules in real-time to block attacks sooner, customers will be able to mitigate rising threats such as web application and DDoS attacks at the edge.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFastly\u2019s 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, which are historically difficult to manage and require never-ending rules tuning to eliminate the false positives that can block legitimate traffic. Because Fastly\u2019s next-gen WAF does not need rules tuning to effectively detect and block malicious traffic, more than 90% of customers use it in full blocking mode.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis announcement comes on the heels of Fastly\u2019s next-gen WAF garnering recognition as a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Finfo.signalsciences.com%2Fgartner-peer-insights-voice-of-customer-waf&amp;esheet=52495459&amp;newsitemid=20210922005764&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Gartner+Peer+Insights+Customers%26%238217%3B+Choice+for+Web+Application+Firewalls&amp;index=4&amp;md5=f434c7d3dcf603466276f0369ffaaed3\">Gartner Peer Insights Customers\u2019 Choice for Web Application Firewalls<\/a> for a third consecutive year.
