Cloud Web Application and API Protection

cca-logo

Gartner defines cloud web application and API protection (WAAP) as a category of security solutions designed to protect web applications and APIs from different types of attacks, irrespective of the hosting location. Typically delivered as a service, cloud WAAP is a consolidation of multiple capabilities offered as a series of security modules and designed to protect against a broad range of runtime attacks. Core capabilities are web application firewalls (WAFs), distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, protection against advanced API attacks and automated (bot) traffic management. A cloud WAAP solution must incorporate all four core capabilities within the same offering.

Edge Computing Platforms (Transitioning to Edge Computing)

Edge computing platform (ECP) delivers software infrastructure and/or services to support edge applications and data processing, centralized management and orchestration of the edge software stack at many remote sites, and edge, cloud and endpoint connectivity and integration. The ECP market provides a foundation, management and orchestration, and cloud integration for widely distributed edge computing nodes where a large number of locations and zero-touch management are required. Edge computing locations are at or near the physical edge (e.g., plant floors, retail stores, vehicles, 5G mobile edge compute [MEC], micro data centers, etc.). The ECP supports edge workloads, which demand low latency, local data processing and/or disconnected state. This includes local applications, data filtering, streaming data analysis, closed-loop automation and AI/machine learning (ML). Containers are the most common edge-native application architecture, with variants of Kubernetes clustering. However, virtual machines are also used to support traditional or existing operational technology (OT) workloads. The ECP can be software and/or services. It doesn’t include hardware — although the software infrastructure of some ECPs can be integrated (as appliances) in hardware, or limited to specialty hardware.
