Hosted by Stevie Awards, the 19th edition of the ABAs received more than 3,800 nominations this year—a record number—which were reviewed by more than 250 professionals worldwide.
- Webscale’s powerful 360-degree security solution, Cloud Security Suite, won in the “Achievement in Product Innovation” category. Evaluating the nomination, judges commented:
“Providing a rich set of security services, Webscale leverages the value of a domain focused organization and the understanding that comes from protecting critical business infrastructure.”
“Fast growing ecommerce clients such as Dollar General and large Fortune 1000 companies provide further validation to their product capabilities and continuous improvement to keep up with emerging cyber threats.”
- In the “Tech Innovator of the Year” category, Webscale Founder and CTO, Jay Smith was recognized by judges as a visionary in the delivery of ecommerce storefronts.
“Webscale improves each online user experience by speeding up sites and making them available all the time. Mr. Jay Smith is a great innovator driving many advancements at Webscale.”
- The Webscale SaaS platform also won in the “Cloud Platform” category with a judge commenting:

Commenting on the ABA wins, Webscale VP Engineering, Mike Haller, said, “We’re thrilled to win these awards as they reinforce our continued focus on product innovation and adding real business value to customers. This recognition, as a result of an independent evaluation by a jury of industry professionals, is a validation of the stellar work done by our product and engineering teams.”
Webscale has witnessed more than 100% growth in the past year, fueled in part by the unprecedented surge in ecommerce as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With rapid growth comes increased risk of cyber-attacks, and Webscale continues to work closely with customers to strengthen their security posture, with powerful edge solutions that can be deployed alongside traditional WAFs and CDNs, and on top of any third-party commerce cloud, headless/PWA deployment or on-premise application.
