Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of intelligent integrated solutions for ensuring the fast, reliable and secure delivery of networked and Web-enabled applications over IP, today announced that it has joined the Microsoft SecureIT Alliance, a community of professional technology providers who offer enhanced security solutions for users of the Microsoft platform. As a member of the SecureIT Alliance, Radware will collaborate with other security providers to deliver best-of-breed computing solutions that enable Microsoft customers to better protect themselves against the current global threat environment.
Radware's industry-leading APSolute application delivery solution provides integrated application security functionality to ensure business continuity and transaction completion for businesses around the world facing an increasing number of virus, worm, denial of service and zero-day attacks. Radware APSolute intrusion prevention and Denial of Service security solutions ensure the availability, performance and security of Web-enabled and networked applications by mitigating attacks before they bring down critical network resources or hit business critical applications.
"Enterprises are fighting an uphill battle, as new and more sophisticated threats are launched each day," said Dan Franklin, vice president of business development for Radware. "By joining the SecureIT Alliance, we now have the ability to help more enterprises truly understand the critical role of security as a core business enabler, not just a response to threats. Working together with Microsoft and other leading security providers, we can help network and security professionals identify and stop malicious and legitimate threats, preventing revenue-affecting downtime and in turn making a measurable impact on business performance."
At RSA Conference 2006, the largest information security conference, the SecureIT Alliance's Web site goes live to the public on Feb.14, featuring a comprehensive directory of alliance members with solution offerings, news and events.
"We founded the SecureIT Alliance because we feel that strength comes from numbers. By creating a web-community where security partners can better communicate and collaborate, we provide customers with enhanced confidence that the applications and services running on our platform remain secure," said Gerry Albert, senior program manager of Microsoft for SecureIT Alliance. "We are delighted that Radware has joined us in our mission, and are looking forward to working with them to further strengthen the security of our platform."
