Mahwah, NJ September 25, 2001 02:00 PM

Radware (Nasdaq; RDWR), the global leader in Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM) solutions that bring certainty to dynamic networks, today announced the immediate availability of protection against one of the world's most dangerous virus attacks - the NIMDA, Code Red and Sadmind/IIS worms. These viruses infect both clients and servers and can replicate themselves in numerous ways including via browser sessions, email infected clients communicating with unprotected servers and infected servers responding to unprotected clients. The excess traffic generated by infected systems and individual personal computers utilizes valuable bandwidth and system resources, affecting overall performance and availability network- wide. Radware's SynApps module, available as an option on all Application Switch I and II-based products protects these resources. The SynApps Application Security module includes a proprietary classification engine that is easily configured to identify and deny traffic from infected systems, ensuring the optimal health and operation of applications and networks at all times.

Radware's Application Switch Platforms recognize and terminate malicious sessions while providing optimization and acceleration of applications and services traversing web servers, firewalls, IP attachments, cache servers, and web sites. No other ITM company has the ability to provide such depth of health monitoring and protection.

"Radware's Application Switch-based products have the intelligence, speed and flexibility to adjust to the overall and ever increasing demands of tomorrow", said Vikram Desai, Chief Operating Officer, Radware. "While others are only beginning to bundle simple features, such as SSL acceleration, into traditional generally available load balancers, only Radware has had the foresight to combine local-to-global application and traffic acceleration and distribution techniques along with real-time application security, Quality of Service and bandwidth management features. Radware is the only Internet Traffic Management company that has addressed the Nimda virus from the hardware level. We are exclusively focused on assisting our customers in the maximization of their current and future network and application infrastructure investments."
