Technology & Security Analyst

Radware's expansion with four new MSSP partnerships strengthens its U.S. market position and diversifies its revenue streams through cloud security solutions.

Radware's announcement of four new managed security service provider (MSSP) partnerships represents a strategic expansion of its distribution channels in the U.S. market. By partnering with Epcom World Industries, GLESEC, North Atlantic Networks, and Tech Pro, Radware is effectively extending its market reach without the capital-intensive process of building direct sales infrastructure.

The focus on Cloud Application Protection Services across all partners (with North Atlantic Networks also adopting Cloud DDoS Protection Services) indicates Radware's emphasis on high-growth segments within cybersecurity. Application security has become increasingly critical as organizations face mounting threats from bots, API abuse, and credential attacks. By enabling these MSSPs to quickly deploy and monetize these services, Radware positions itself to capture market share in areas experiencing rapid threat evolution.

What's particularly notable is Radware's go-to-market strategy. Their AppSec-as-a-Service platform allows MSSPs to offer advanced security capabilities without significant infrastructure investments or specialized staffing. This approach addresses key pain points for service providers: speed to market, scalability, and the ability to monetize security services beyond traditional flat-rate bundles. For Radware, this translates to expanded distribution of their technology with minimal incremental costs.

The selection of partners across various vertical specializations (healthcare, finance, government, etc.) suggests a deliberate strategy to penetrate regulated industries where security requirements are stringent and spending tends to be more resilient. The multiple analyst recognitions cited (Aite-Novarica, Forrester, Gartner) lend credibility to Radware's technical capabilities in this competitive landscape.
