What happened
The piece is vendor-authored and promotes Imperva, so its claims need independent checking. It cites SecureIQLab Cloud WAAP v5.0 results: Complete Security Scores ranging from about 61% to 100% across 12 platforms, with WebSockets the weakest protocol area and false positive avoidance varying widely. Defenders should test shortlisted WAAPs against their own traffic in a proof of value running at least two weeks, measuring API coverage by protocol (REST, GraphQL, SOAP, WebSockets, gRPC), false positives, and cost at 24 to 36 months of projected growth.

What to do
- Run a proof of value on your own traffic for at least two full weeks before choosing a WAAP.
- Check each vendor's API coverage protocol by protocol, including WebSockets and gRPC.
- Model licensing costs over 24 to 36 months of traffic growth using your own baseline.
