Edgio Named Winner of the Coveted Global InfoSec Awards During RSA Conference 2024

Edgio Wins Web Application Security Award In 12th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at #RSAC 2024

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgio is proud to announce it has received the Web Application Security award from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR), over 60% of data breaches were attributed to web applications, underscoring the urgent need for organizations to continuously manage threat exposure across their web applications and throughout the entire DevSecOps lifecycle.

Committed to addressing the complex and evolving needs of organizations, Edgio continues to innovate and expand its services with its recent launch of Attack Surface Management (ASM) - a solution designed to discover all web assets, provide full inventory of technologies, detect security exposures and manage exposure response across an organization from a centralized management interface. ASM, coupled with Edgio’s holistic web security solutions and managed security services provide the industry’s first edge-enabled continuous web application threat management service.

In addition to ASM, Edgio recently released its Client-Side Protection solution that monitors client-side scripts and APIs to prevent malicious code execution that could otherwise compromise sensitive customer data, including credit card skimming attacks (i.e. Magecart attacks). The solution allows teams to test multiple content security policies in production without impacting script functionality, providing teams with the agility to quickly ship new policies in the face of emerging threats. With Payment Card Industry (PCI) DSS 4.0 mandating client-side protection requirements by March 2025, organizations handling payment card information will be well positioned to gain a competitive edge by adopting client-side security controls ahead of schedule.

“We’re thrilled to receive this prestigious cybersecurity award from Cyber Defense Magazine, during its 12th anniversary as an independent cybersecurity news and information provider,” said Ajay Kapur, CTO of Edgio. “This award serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to securing that trust for our clients and partners in an ever-evolving digital landscape."

“Edgio embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
