Radware Named API Security Leader in 2026 SPARK Matrix

Radware differentiates its offering by moving beyond simple inventory management. According to QKS Group analyst Lokesh Biswal, the platform stands out by pairing continuous API discovery with real-time runtime posture management and behavioral AI-based protection. This unified approach allows enterprises to identify exposed APIs from live traffic and block malicious activity as it occurs, rather than relying on retrospective security findings.

The firm’s evaluation framework assessed vendors on their capacity to secure the entire API lifecycle, from design and development to runtime operation. Radware’s inclusion reflects its capacity to handle diverse protocols—including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket—while defending against threats such as credential stuffing and bot-driven abuse. Connie Stack, Chief Growth Officer at Radware, noted that this recognition underscores the market's shift toward solutions that provide immediate, automated responses to evolving cyberthreats.
