QKS Group has named Radware a global leader in AI and application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments. The designation comes from the firm's SPARK Matrix: Bot Management analysis for Q4 2026, which offers strategic information for users to evaluate provider capabilities.

The analysis reviews global market dynamics, major trends, the vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. It also ranks leading technology vendors through the SPARK Matrix framework, with attention to competitive differentiation and market position.

According to the analysis, Radware detects automation by assessing behavioral intent rather than relying only on static signatures and score-based rules. Its engine combines pre-emptive blocking through the ERT Active Attackers Feed, AI-based behavioral analysis across hundreds of signals, and real-time signature generation within one self-learning framework. A native mobile SDK with built-in Android and iOS attestation applies the same policy framework across web and mobile.

Mitigation options range from tunable CAPTCHA to proof-of-work crypto challenges, and they can be calibrated per URL, flow, or user segment. The offering also classifies AI crawlers and autonomous agents at the session level, using active intent verification and dynamic trust scoring. These functions operate natively within Radware's Cloud Application Protection platform alongside WAF, API, DDoS, and client-side protection.

Sofia Ali, principal analyst at QKS Group, said, “Radware is redefining Bot Management by shifting detection from static signatures and score-based rules to intent-driven analysis of how automation actually behaves.” Shira Sagiv, vice president of portfolio marketing at Radware, said, “Our Bot Manager uses AI-driven behavioral analysis to identify malicious intent and stop sophisticated attacks without disrupting legitimate users.”
