Radware (NASDAQ; RDWR) the leading provider of intelligent Application Switching, ensuring control, performance and the integrity of networked applications across the enterprise is pleased to announce the release of a new SynApps Architecture module - DoS Shield.
High profile organizations are exposed to malicious DoS (Denial of Service) attacks on a daily basis. Such organizations, which are generally connected to the Internet via high capacity links, require a flexible solution to defend their networks from attacks, without degrading the high level of service provided on the networks' sites. Radware's DoS Shield module is designed to answer these needs.
Radware's new security module provides organizations with extensive DoS detection and protection capabilities while maintaining high network throughput, sustaining Gigabit throughput. Using an advanced sampling algorithm, Radware's DoS Shield detects when active attacks begin to consume large amounts of the network's bandwidth, and immediately block them. Legitimate traffic proceeds normally.
"On a too frequent basis, high-profile organizations and enterprises are susceptible to denial of service attacks (DoS). Any delay in network availability can be a costly proposition for the company and its current and potential partners for doing business," said Zeus Kerravala, Director, Yankee Group. "Threats to the network need to be fended off with the ultimate goal of differentiating legitimate traffic and permitting that traffic to get through while quashing that harmful traffic before it even gets to the network. An innovate answer is one that will protect and not degrade any of the network resources performance."
"There is no other solution available in today's market that provides this level of protection against DoS attacks, while sustaining such a high throughput," said Amir Peles, Chief Technology Officer, Radware. "A real-time detection and protection scheme, coupled with the powerful computing capabilities of the Application Switch II platform provides maximum security at maximum speed."
