When evaluating an application security vendor, ask key questions to ensure robust protection. Do they detect and mitigate a wide range of web attacks and provide a platform—not just a point solution?

Inquire about their WAF capabilities, DDoS SLA, focus on security vs. content delivery, and whether their products block threats out-of-the-box. Look for published threat research, third-party validation, real-world use beyond compliance, and availability of free trials to assess effectiveness firsthand.
