API Management
Gartner defines the application programming interface (API) management market as the market for software that supports API life cycle stages such as planning and design, implementation and testing, deployment and operation, and versioning and retirement. Organizations use APIs to modernize their architectures; efficiently integrate systems, services and partners; and create and monetize data and services. API management software enables organizations to discover, design, build, manage and secure APIs, regardless of their size, region or industry. It helps them improve composability, security and business resilience, and accelerate their growth.

API Protection
API protection products protect APIs from exploits, abuse and access violations, and assist in remediating API exposures. These products perform API discovery and posture management and provide runtime protection. API protection products may be delivered as cloud-based or on-premises solutions. API protection products serve to provide capabilities to organizations that need to protect their data assets primarily from attacks against the first-party APIs they expose publicly. They also need to provide coverage for the internal APIs and the third-party APIs that they may consume. API products deliver a catalog of inventoried APIs, a prioritized list of remediations of API exposures and alerts on suspicious or malicious activity on APIs.

Application Delivery Controllers
The application delivery controller is a key component within enterprise and cloud data centers to improve availability, security and performance of applications. Application delivery controllers (ADCs) provide functions that optimize delivery of enterprise applications across the network. ADCs provide functionality for both user-to-application and application-to-application traffic, and effectively bridge the gap between the application and underlying protocols and traditional packet-based networks. This market evolved from the load-balancing systems that were developed in the latter half of the 1990s to ensure the availability and scalability of websites. Enterprises use ADCs today to improve the availability, scalability, end-user performance, data center resource utilization, security of their applications.

In-App Protection
The In-app protection market refers to security solutions implemented within the application (instead of the network or the operating system, for example) to make the application more resistant to attacks such as malicious data exfiltration, intrusion, tampering, and reverse engineering. Enterprises use in-app protection to safeguard their software-based assets and to protect their organization and customers from fraudulent attacks.

Multicloud Networking Software
MCNS enables the design, deployment and operation of a network in multiple public cloud environments. MCNS products enable consistent networking policy, network security, governance and network visibility across multiple cloud environments via a single point of management. Organizations can deploy MCNS in one or multiple public cloud environments, and can extend the software to support edge locations and private data centers. MCNS products address traffic routing, secure ingress/egress and integrate with available public cloud services. These products can help improve network manageability, security and visibility in single-cloud, multicloud, hybrid/multicloud and extranet connectivity scenarios. Organizations typically invest in MCNS to add network features that are not present in native public cloud provider offerings and/or improve networking manageability in the environment(s).

Network Firewalls
Gartner defines the network firewall market as the market for firewalls that use bidirectional stateful traffic inspection (for both egress and ingress) to secure networks. Network firewalls are enforced through hardware, virtual appliances and cloud-native controls. Network firewalls are used to secure networks. These can be on-premises, hybrid (on-premises and cloud), public cloud or private cloud networks. Network firewall products support different deployment use cases, such as for perimeters, midsize enterprises, data centers, clouds, cloud-native and distributed offices.

Observability Platforms
Gartner defines observability platforms as products used to understand the health, performance and behavior of applications, services and infrastructure. They ingest telemetry (operational data) from a variety of sources, including but not limited to logs, metrics, events and traces. Observability platforms enable analysis of the telemetry, either via human operator or machine intelligence, to determine changes in system behavior that impact end user experience such as outages or performance degradation. This allows for early, even preemptive, problem remediation. Observability solutions are used by IT operations, site reliability engineers, cloud and platform teams, application developers, and product owners.
