The Need for Integrated Web Security Platforms Drives the Future Growth Potential of HWPP
The sophistication of cyberattacks on web applications and business-critical infrastructure is increasing with the rise in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, new common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), and zero-day vulnerabilities (e.g., log4j and spring4shell). The growth of credential stuffing attacks from sophisticated botnets is driving organizations to strengthen their security posture to protect web assets and related data with DDoS protection, web application firewall (WAF), bot risk management (BRM), and API protection.
The accelerated transformation of business practices and a substantial rise in Internet traffic, coupled with the expanding attack surface in the world wide web, will drive holistic web protection platform (HWPP) growth. The demand surge for digital experiences forces organizations to modernize their application and infrastructure environment for business agility and the ability to adapt to fast-changing circumstances. Organizations are increasingly hosting their applications in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment as part of their cloud migration journey, catalyzing the deployment of HWPP with DDoS mitigation, WAF, and API protection.
