The report’s author defines AI-enhanced vulnerability detection as:
AI-enhanced vulnerability detection: Modern systems, modern attacks, and modern architectures are all getting more complex, yet application security staffing shortages have only grown. Add to this the increasing sophistication of attacks and the need for AI enhancement of protection solutions is becoming acute and will become even more prominent in the future. AAS tools must be able to at least use AI to increase automated detection.
Additionally, Radware's prowess in bot management and its unique offering of crypto challenge further solidify its position as an industry leader. The report's endorsement of Radware as the go-to option for organizations with complex architectures speaks volumes about its adaptability and effectiveness across diverse environments.
“Radware also earned a top score for the bot management key feature.”
The report’s author writes on the importance of Bot management capabilities:
Bot management: Though there are negative connotations to words like botnets, bots are not, by definition, bad. The internet is full of bots that are doing vital work, such as indexing the web for search engines and testing the availability of important APIs and applications. These are examples of bots that are helping us every day. Sadly, there is the other kind of bot—the ones that create DDoS agents or look for weak defenses to help attackers determine where to devote their time.
