ANALYST REPORT

Cloudflare Placed Highest on the ‘Ability to Execute’ Axis in the Challengers Quadrant in the First Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Web Application and API Protection

Cloudflare has placed highest on the 'Ability to Execute' axis and furthest right on the 'Completeness of Vision' axis in the Challengers quadrant in the 2021 "Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAAP" report.

Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) is the foundation of our integrated WAAP portfolio that also calls on API Shield to keep APIs secure, Bot Management to keep bots in check, Page Shield to stop client-side Magecart attacks and naturally, Cloudflare’s world-class DDoS protection.

Millions of organizations turn to Cloudflare due to our differentiated approach to application security that we believe helped our WAF achieve a 2021 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice Distinction.

We believe our recognition validates Cloudflare’s vast network at scale, ease of use and superior, integrated application security, powered by unparalleled threat intelligence. Cloudflare has made powerful application security simple, by using a single console to keep applications and APIs secure and productive, thwart DDoS attacks, stop bots, detect anomalies and malicious payloads, and monitor for browser supply chain attacks.
