A10 Networks Acquires ThreatX Protect
A10 says web applications and application programming interfaces (APIs) are increasingly targeted by cyber threats, posing significant risks to enterprises. As such, ThreatX Protect offers a WAAP solution that utilizes behavioral and risk profiling to enhance protection against evolving threats, including those affecting AI applications. Delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, it includes API protection, bot management, and a next-generation web application firewall.
The integration of ThreatX Protect aligns with the company’s strategy of providing security solutions that safeguard applications and networks from emerging threats. The A10 Defend portfolio, which includes DDoS protection, threat intelligence, and web application security, now incorporates a WAAP solution within a unified platform. This enables enterprises to protect applications and APIs across various environments, including public cloud, private cloud, co-location facilities, and on-premises deployments.
“Expanding the A10 Defend security portfolio with ThreatX Protect gives our customers an additional tool in their strategy to protect against new and evolving threats,” said Dhrupad Trivedi, President and CEO of A10 Networks. “Our strategic focus is on helping enterprises secure their applications and networks from the growing number of threats today, as well as protecting the emerging AI use cases of the future. Adding WAAP to our solution set gives customers additional capabilities to help establish a strong security posture.”
Following this acquisition, the remaining assets of ThreatX will be rebranded as Run Security, with TX Prevent reintroduced as RS Prevent, an eBPF-based security solution.
Pokdepinion: Hopefully this translates to a more comprehensive solution for customers.
