Gcore Enhances Security Portfolio with Acquisition of Industry-Leading WAAP Solution
Summary
Andre Reitenbach, CEO at Gcore, comments: “The acquisition of StackPath WAAP marks a significant milestone in our strategic roadmap, underscoring our commitment to continuous innovation of our solutions and edge infrastructure. Gcore’s extensive edge network spans over 160 points of presence, delivering fast, reliable, and secure digital experiences worldwide. This approach reduces latency, scales seamlessly against large-scale DDoS attacks, protects against common vulnerabilities, safeguards critical API endpoints, and leverages real-time threat intelligence. Gcore will maintain the rapid setup and out-of-the-box features that have made StackPath WAAP easily configurable, and add capabilities including customisation, advanced threat identification, and real-time analytics. “When we decided to focus even more specifically on our latency-sensitive, highly distributed edge-computing platform, we knew Gcore would be the perfect home for the continuing innovation of this next-gen WAAP.
