Multiple Social Networking Companies Select Radware to Defend Against Cyber Attacks
Radware to Provide Network Edge Protections Against Multi-level Attacks
MAHWAH, New Jersey, April 18, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Radware [http://www.Radware.com ] (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and
application security
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, today announced recent agreements with two U.S.-based
social networking companies to deploy Radware's award winning Attack Mitigation System
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] (AMS) security
solution to address expanding network security needs including improved protection against
a range of sophisticated, new-generation cyber threats. The combined agreements represent
a multi-million dollar investment in network security.
Radware's AMS is helping these firms put network infrastructure protections in place
as they pursue programs to upgrade security policies and to insure network uptime for
their users. Social networking companies have been targets of frequent cyber attacks and
believe their tightened IT security policies and rapid growth globally will inspire
'hacktivists' to launch more attempts to bring down their networks.
Before purchasing Radware's solution, the companies compared AMS with a variety of
security solutions from other vendors. They chose AMS based on performance, attack
detection within SSL sessions, and its mitigation capabilities that far exceeded other
product offerings. In addition one of the key factors was the proven expertise of
Radware's Emergency Response Team (EMS) to help manage a cyber attack in real time with
global 24 x 7 availability.
"Data center and network security managers must maneuver through an increasingly
difficult and always changing threat landscape; and only Radware's Attack Mitigation
System has the proven ability to defend against the new generation of sophisticated,
multi-level cyber attacks," said Carl Herberger, vice president, Security, Radware.
"What's more, the combination of Radware's AMS technology and the expertise of Radware's
ERT consultants provide probably the most effective cyber security services available
today. This level of support while under attack is unique in the industry."
According to a new report
[http://www.radware.com/Resources/lp.aspx?campaign28918&WT.mc_id 11GlobalApplicationNetSecurityReport_HP ]
by Radware's ERT, cyber attacks have evolved in sophistication with
attackers using as many as five different attack vectors in a single "attack campaign."
Moreover, denial of service (DoS) and distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks have become more
complex to defend against as hackers can probe enterprises for weaknesses and launch
multiple types of attacks, according to Radware's "2011 Global Application and Network
Security Report."
For example, hackers can bombard networks with data packets to consume a target
server's bandwidth, overwhelm networks with remote connections and requests for
application transactions, or tie up resources slowly by having a number of attackers
target specific system vulnerabilities or design flaws. Radware's AMS solution can detect
and mitigate these types of DDoS attacks in seconds with the highest mitigation
performance.
About Radware's Attack Mitigation System (AMS)
Radware's AMS is a real-time network and application attack mitigation solution that
protects the application infrastructure against network and application downtime,
application vulnerability exploitation, malware spread, information theft, Web service
attacks and Web defacement. It is built on Radware's award-winning DefensePro(R) network
security appliance, AppWall(R) Web application firewall and APSolute Vision(R) application
and network security management dashboard.
Radware supplements these capabilities by adding the human factor - the professional
security consultants of its ERT who are available around the clock. As literal "first
responders" to cyber attacks, Radware's ERT members gained their extensive experience by
successfully dealing with some of the industry's most notable hacking episodes, providing
the knowledge and expertise to mitigate the kind of attack a business's security team may
never have handled.
