RapidScale's managed application security service, powered by Radware, gives you enterprise-grade application protection, expertly managed, without the cost and complexity of running it in-house.
If you lead security or engineering, you already know your applications have become your biggest exposure. The web apps and APIs that carry customer data, process payments, and run your business are exactly where attackers go first, because that’s where the value is. You also know that a breach at that layer does more than trigger an incident. It erodes customer trust you spent years earning, invites regulatory scrutiny, and puts you in front of the board explaining how it happened.
The harder question is what protecting that layer actually takes. RapidScale now offers a managed application security service powered by Radware Cloud Application Security. It gives you advanced protection for your applications and APIs, run and continuously tuned by a dedicated RapidScale security team, so you receive the security outcomes you need without having to build the practice behind it.
Owning advanced technology does not mean you’re protected. What determines your protection is the team operating it: the people who tune your defenses as your applications change, catch threats engineered to evade detection, and track down the forgotten API still running in a corner of your environment that no one remembered deploying.
That work is constant, it is specialized, and it does not pause when your team is stretched thin. It requires specialized security talent, which is scarce, expensive, and in constant demand. For most leaders, standing up a mature application security practice means a hiring effort measured in quarters, a budget line competing with every other priority, and a retention problem that never fully goes away. Meanwhile, your applications stay exposed. The gap between knowing you need strong protection and actually operating it is where risk accumulates.
RapidScale and Radware close that gap by pairing proven technology with a dedicated security team. From onboarding and traffic cutover through ongoing policy tuning, our teams:
The tuning is where much of that value lives. Tune too permissively and threats get through; tune too aggressively and you block the legitimate customers you are trying to attract. Keeping that balance right, continuously, is exactly the work that a dedicated team takes off your plate.
Behind that team is Radware Cloud Application Security, an AI-driven platform that unifies web application firewall, API protection, bot management, client-side protection against malicious third-party scripts, and application-layer DDoS defense.
Modern attacks move at machine speed and machine scale. Radware meets them the same way, with AI-driven behavioral engines that learn your normal traffic patterns, adapt to new attacks in real time, and catch zero-day threats built to slip past traditional signature-based defenses.
Technology like this becomes protection that you can rely on when an expert team runs it well.
If you’re a CISO, that means a defensible security posture and a clear story for the board, without a multi-quarter hiring plan to get there. If you are a CIO or VP of engineering, it means your engineers stay on the roadmap instead of having to respond to security fire drills.
Attackers don't stand still, and neither should your defense. What makes a managed model valuable over time is that your protection continues to adapt after the initial deployment, as your applications change, new APIs ship, and threats evolve. That durability is the difference between security that holds and security that quietly stops working.
This launch deepens an established RapidScale and Radware partnership in cyber resilience, and it reflects how RapidScale works across its portfolio, helping customers choose the right defenses, deploy them, and manage the protection day to day.
“As organizations continue to accelerate digital transformation initiatives, protecting applications and APIs has become a business-critical requirement,” says John Eisenbarger, Vice President, Carrier and Service Provider Sales at Radware. “RapidScale's new managed application security service gives customers access to industry-leading protection delivered through a trusted managed services provider.”
You can have strong application security without building the team to run it. RapidScale protects your applications and APIs, takes the operational load off your team, and keeps your defenses current as the threat landscape evolves.
