Radware positioned as a Leader and Emerging Innovator in the SPARK Matrix™: Bot Management, 2026 by QKS Group

• The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ provides competitive analysis & ranking of the leading Identity Bot Management vendors. 
• Radware, with its comprehensive technology and customer experience management, has received strong ratings across the parameters of technology excellence and customer impact. 

PUNE, India, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QKS Group announced that it has named Radware a global leader in AI and application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, a technology leader in the analysis of global SPARK Matrix™: Bot Management, Q4 2026.

The QKS Group SPARK Matrix™ includes a detailed analysis of the global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study provides competitive analysis and ranking of the leading technology vendors in the form of its SPARK Matrix™. The study offers strategic information for users to evaluate different provider capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market position.

As per Sofia Ali, Principal Analyst at QKS Group: "Radware is redefining Bot Management by shifting detection from static signatures and score-based rules to intent-driven analysis of how automation actually behaves. Its engine unifies pre-emptive blocking through the ERT Active Attackers Feed, AI-based behavioral analysis across hundreds of signals, and real-time signature generation into a single self-learning framework that catches evasive, human-like bots with less manual tuning. A native mobile SDK with built-in Android and iOS attestation extends the same policy framework across web and mobile, while one of the market's broadest mitigation repertoires, from tunable CAPTCHA to proof-of-work crypto challenges, lets enterprises calibrate response per URL, flow, or user segment without trading off user experience. Radware further extends this into the AI era with session-level classification of AI crawlers and autonomous agents, using active intent verification and dynamic trust scoring to govern automation rather than blanket allow or block. Delivered natively within Radware's Cloud Application Protection platform alongside WAF, API, DDoS, and client-side protection with cross-correlated intelligence, Radware positions Bot Management as a coordinated control layer for the emerging agent economy."

"As bots and AI agents grow more sophisticated, organizations need to distinguish malicious automation from legitimate activity," said Shira Sagiv, vice president, portfolio marketing, Radware. "Our Bot Manager uses AI-driven behavioral analysis to identify malicious intent and stop sophisticated attacks without disrupting legitimate users."
