Secure what’s next – protect the beating heart of your organisation
Web applications and APIs are the beating heart of modern organisations. They enable customer portals, e-commerce platforms and internal integrations and are accessible 24/7. This is precisely why they are an attractive target for cybercriminals.
Attackers exploit vulnerabilities described in the OWASP Top 10, such as injection, broken authentication, misconfiguration and data exposure. The number of DDoS attacks and bots abusing login pages is also growing rapidly.
Traditional WAF solutions often can no longer keep up with these advanced threats. That is why Gartner introduced the concept of Web Application and API Protection (WAAP):an integrated approach that extends web application security to include DDoS protection, bot management and API security.
The digital attack is changing… your protection grows with it.
WAAP is the next step in application security. It combines multiple layers of defence in one intelligent platform, designed for modern hybrid and cloud environments.
What we secure
- Web applications and customer portals against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
- APIs and integrations against data breaches, misuse and unauthorised access
- Applications against DDoS attacks and volumetric overloads
- Digital services against malicious bots and automated attacks
Our approach

The answers
to your questions
WAAP integrates with existing security components such as SIEM, XDR and firewalls. It thus strengthens the overall security architecture without adding complexity. The solution can be managed centrally or delivered fully as a managed service.
A traditional WAF only protects web applications from known attacks such as SQL injections or cross-site scripting. WAAP goes much further: it combines WAF functionality with protection against DDoS, bot traffic and API attacks. This creates a single integrated platform that better suits modern cloud and hybrid environments.
WAAP includes advanced DDoS protection that analyses traffic and blocks malicious flows before they reach your infrastructure. This keeps your website or application available, even during volumetric or targeted attacks.
