Executive Summary

Radware's confirmable traction all comes from its established DDoS, web-application, and bot-defense platform, while the Agentic AI Protection line it now leads with launched in February 2026 with no named reference customers and no published pricing. The conventional business is profitable and growing: record 2025 revenue of $301.9 million, up 10 percent, cloud recurring revenue up 23 percent, across an enterprise and carrier base. The agentic line, which discovers AI agents and applies runtime behavioral analysis against prompt injection and tool abuse, is so far an announced capability without confirmable adoption, funded by that profitable base. Most defensible where Radware already protects a buyer's traffic. The new AI line's demand is not yet evidenced.
