A10 Networks, which is based in the US, has announced the acquisition of ThreatX Protect’s assets and key personnel to strengthen its cybersecurity portfolio with web application and API protection (WAAP).
As web applications and APIs face a growing number of cyber threats, ThreatX Protect’s WAAP solution enhances security through behavioral and risk profiling, protecting enterprises from evolving attacks, including those targeting AI applications. Delivered as a software-as-a-service solution, ThreatX Protect offers API protection, bot management, and a next-generation web application firewall.
Following the acquisition, ThreatX’s remaining assets will be rebranded as Run Security, with TX Prevent relaunching as RS Prevent, an eBPF-based security solution.
A10 Networks President and CEO highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition, stating, “Expanding the A10 Defend security portfolio with ThreatX Protect gives our customers an additional tool in their strategy to protect against new and evolving threats. Our strategic focus is on securing applications and networks from today’s growing threats while also addressing emerging AI security needs. Adding WAAP strengthens our security portfolio and enhances our customers’ ability to maintain a strong security posture.”
ThreatX CEO Gene Fay expressed optimism about the transition, stating, “We are thrilled that A10 Networks has acquired certain assets of ThreatX, including the brand and the TX Protect WAAP solution, to expand A10’s security portfolio. A10 has been a fantastic partner throughout this process, and we are confident that our customers and employees will thrive under their leadership.”
ThreatX Protect aligns with A10’s strategy of enabling customers to deploy security solutions in hybrid environments, securing applications and APIs across public and private clouds, co-location facilities, and on-premises infrastructure. The A10 Defend portfolio now integrates a comprehensive WAAP solution alongside its existing DDoS protection and threat intelligence services, providing end-to-end security for mission-critical applications.
Although financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed, A10 Networks affirms that the acquisition supports its long-term growth strategy in the enterprise security market without materially impacting its 2025 financial outlook or business model.
