LevelBlue delivers expert managed security services to protect your business, ensuring robust defense and peace of mind. Cybersecurity. Simplified.

As API usage surges and application environments evolve, organizations are increasingly relying on a mix of WAFs, DDoS protection, API security, and bot management tools, often from different vendors. While many have coverage across key areas, this fragmented approach leads to what we call WAAP sprawl: multiple tools, multiple vendors, and increased complexity. Can organizations effectively manage all of this?

Join LevelBlue and ESG analyst John Grady for a data-driven discussion exploring how organizations are addressing today’s WAAP challenges, why consolidation is gaining momentum, and how to simplify without compromising protection. In this session, you’ll gain the data, context, and clarity to rethink your WAAP strategy and walk away with insights you can take straight to leadership.

What You’ll Learn:

- Why API growth is accelerating and why current protection strategies are falling behind
- How WAAP sprawl is impacting security operations and driving the need for consolidation
- What capabilities organizations prioritize in modern WAAP solutions
- Strategic guidance to influence your organization’s budget and security priorities
