Multimillion-dollar deal includes protection of high-bandwidth network against phantom flood attacks

MAHWAH, N.J., Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radware^� (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, today announced it is delivering state-of-the-art DDoS protection for a leading SaaS provider of global cloud-based communications services. To increase protection around its hybrid computing environment and ensure optimal delivery of its services and application traffic, the industry leader purchased Radware�s DefensePro^� DDoS Protection solution as part of a multimillion-dollar deal.

The SaaS company was looking for a DDoS solution that could provide dynamic and granular protection from hidden micro floods across a large-scale, high-bandwidth network with enormous user and traffic requirements. In addition, the company was searching for a low-latency solution with flexible deployment options to address the requirements of its hybrid architecture.

According to Radware�s recent Global Threat Analysis Report, the number of micro floods increased by 79% between 2020 and 2021. Micro floods, or low throughput attack vectors, have throughputs between 10Mbps to 1Gbps and are typically much harder to detect using traditional algorithms based on thresholds.

�Malicious actors are constantly seeking new ways to disrupt the flow of network traffic, undermine the user experience, jeopardize revenue, and damage brands,� said Yoav Gazelle, Radware�s chief business officer. �We won the business of this global communications leader following an in-depth proof-of-concept process, where we demonstrated state-of-the-art mitigation capabilities. We structured a fully redundant and scalable architecture that will enable the organization to grow significantly over time while protecting its security investment.�

Radware was recognized as a global leader in Forrester�s report, The Forrester Wave�: DDoS Mitigation Solutions, Q1 2021. The company was also named the market leader for the second consecutive year in Quadrant Knowlege Solutions� 2022 SPARK Matrix for DDOS Mitigation.

Radware�s DefensePro patented, behavior-based detection technology provides automated DDoS protection from fast-moving, high-volume, encrypted or very short duration threats. It defends against Burst, DNS, and TLS/SSL attacks as well as ransom DDoS campaigns, Internet-of-Things botnets, phantom floods, and other types of cyber threats. To match a broad range of customer needs, DefensePro supports multiple deployment options, including cloud-based, hardware-based, and hybrid solutions.
