MAHWAH, N.J., Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, today announced the launch of its Radware API Security Service, a full, end-to-end solution designed to protect APIs throughout their entire lifecycle using real-time production traffic. Radware API Security Service offers APIs advanced protection against the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks, including sophisticated Layer 7 DDoS attacks.
As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, APIs now power most modern applications—but they also create major security blind spots. API security tools often generate large numbers of theoretical alerts without showing real risk, making it hard for teams to know what to fix first. Gaps in API discovery leave shadow APIs and third-party integrations unprotected, while limited runtime visibility makes it difficult to detect and stop complex business logic attacks as they happen.
Radware’s new API Security Service addresses these challenges by delivering continuous runtime visibility, posture management, and protection—providing security teams with a real-time, high-fidelity view of actual API risk based on live production traffic.
“APIs are dynamic, business-critical, and increasingly targeted—but most security approaches are still static,” said Haim Zelikovsky, vice president, cloud security business at Radware. “Radware’s API Security Service redefines API protection by continuously analyzing real traffic to identify real risk, automatically block real attacks, and help organizations reduce noise, shorten MTTR, and meet regulatory requirements with confidence.”
Runtime API Security Designed for Real-World Threats
Radware’s API Security Service delivers unified, end-to-end runtime protection across the API lifecycle—combining continuous discovery, posture management, analytics, and active defense in a single platform.
Key capabilities include:
- Runtime Posture Management – Real-time analysis of live production traffic identifies actual risks and prioritizes remediation based on active threats and attacker intent.
- Business Logic Protection – Automatically maps API workflows and detects and blocks sophisticated business logic attacks in runtime.
- Complete Runtime Protection – Full coverage of the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks, including bot, embedded, client-side, and HTTPS DDoS attacks targeting APIs.
- Automated API Discovery and Visibility – Continuous discovery of all APIs, including shadow and third-party APIs, with full visibility into inventories, schemas, usage, and workflows.
- Unified Platform and Compliance – A single portal for Dev, Sec, and DevSecOps teams that simplifies collaboration and supports regulatory requirements, while reducing complexity and total cost of ownership.
Purpose Built for Enterprise API Security at Scale
The Radware API Security Service is designed to meet the needs of CISOs, security operations teams, and DevSecOps organizations seeking complete API visibility, strong runtime protection, and measurable risk reduction. AI-driven detection is designed to minimize false positives, while adaptive, behavior-based protection is designed to prevent disruption to legitimate API traffic —even during large-scale HTTPS DDoS attacks.
The Radware API Security Service is generally available and officially launches today as a stand-alone solution, as well as part of Radware’s broader application security and management portfolio.

Because such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, could differ materially from Radware’s current forecasts and estimates. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of global economic conditions, including as a result of the state of war declared in Israel in October 2023 and instability in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine, tensions between China and Taiwan, financial and credit market fluctuations (including elevated interest rates), impacts from tariffs or other trade restrictions, inflation, and the potential for regional or global recessions; our dependence on independent distributors to sell our products; our ability to manage our anticipated growth effectively; our business may be affected by sanctions, export controls, and similar measures, targeting Russia and other countries and territories, as well as other responses to Russia’s military conflict in Ukraine, including indefinite suspension of operations in Russia and dealings with Russian entities by many multi-national businesses across a variety of industries; the ability of vendors to provide our hardware platforms and components for the manufacture of our products; our ability to attract, train, and retain highly qualified personnel; intense competition in the market for cybersecurity and application delivery solutions and in our industry in general, and changes in the competitive landscape; our ability to develop new solutions and enhance existing solutions; the impact to our reputation and business in the event of real or perceived shortcomings, defects, or vulnerabilities in our solutions, if our end-users experience security breaches, or if our information technology systems and data, or those of our service providers and other contractors, are compromised by cyber-attackers or other malicious actors or by a critical system failure; our use of AI technologies that present regulatory, litigation, and reputational risks; risks related to the fact that our products must interoperate with operating systems, software applications and hardware that are developed by others; outages, interruptions, or delays in hosting services; the risks associated with our global operations, such as difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, compliance costs arising from host country laws or regulations, partial or total expropriation, export duties and quotas, local tax exposure, economic or political instability, including as a result of insurrection, war, natural disasters, and major environmental, climate, or public health concerns; our net losses in the past and the possibility that we may incur losses in the future; a slowdown in the growth of the cybersecurity and application delivery solutions market or in the development of the market for our cloud-based solutions; long sales cycles for our solutions; risks and uncertainties relating to acquisitions or other investments; risks associated with doing business in countries with a history of corruption or with foreign governments; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; risks associated with undetected defects or errors in our products; our ability to protect our proprietary technology; intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties; laws, regulations, and industry standards affecting our business; compliance with open source and third-party licenses; complications with the design or implementation of our new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system; our reliance on information technology systems; our ESG disclosures and initiatives; and other factors and risks over which we may have little or no control.
