New cloud-augmented protection architecture designed to strengthen
detection of sophisticated application-layer attacks while keeping
mitigation on premises.
Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in AI
and application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments,
today announced a new cloud-augmented protection architecture for DefensePro
X, extending the platform with new AI-powered cloud algorithms while keeping
traffic inspection and mitigation locally within customer premises. The first
such service released is
Cloud Web DDoS Protection for DefensePro Xdesigned to improve characterization and real time footprint generation of
sophisticated application-layer distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks
without requiring organizations to reroute traffic through the cloud.
Web DDoS attacks continue to evolve as attackers increasingly use AI,
encrypted traffic, distributed infrastructure, and techniques designed to
mimic legitimate users. These attacks may challenge traditional defenses,
potentially making them difficult to detect through local visibility alone.
Cloud-based protection can improve detection but often requires traffic
redirection or access to customers’ private keys, which may introduce
operational complexities for organizations with strict privacy, compliance, or
data sovereignty requirements. Until now, these customers had to compromise on
the strength of their security posture. Radware’s cloud-augmented architecture
is designed to address those tradeoffs by combining AI-powered cloud
algorithms with DefensePro X's inline enforcement capabilities. Backed by
Radware’s global cloud network of over 65 cloud centers, Cloud Web DDoS
Protection for DefensePro X enables customers to gain broader visibility into
sophisticated attacks while keeping traffic inspection, mitigation, and
private keys on premises.
"As application-layer attacks become more sophisticated, security teams need
broader visibility without sacrificing operational control," said Gabi Malka,
chief operating officer at Radware. "By extending DefensePro X with
cloud-augmented protection, Radware gives customers access to cloud-powered
intelligence while helping to preserve the speed, privacy, and control of
inline enforcement. Cloud Web DDoS Protection is designed to help
organizations strengthen application security without requiring them to
redesign their security architecture or expose sensitive encryption keys."
Key benefits include:
- Cloud-based intelligence for advanced Layer 7 attack detection
- Designed to support real-time, adaptive Layer 7 mitigation
- On-premises control of traffic and TLS private keys
-
Simplified integration designed to work with existing DefensePro X
deployments
-
Cloud-augmented architecture designed to support future DefensePro X
capabilities
Radware’s cloud-augmented protection model for DefensePro X is designed for
enterprises that require advanced application-layer protection without
sacrificing operational control. Cloud Web DDoS Protection is the initial
application of the cloud-augmented protection model and is particularly well
suited for organizations with strict compliance, privacy, or data sovereignty
requirements, those protecting applications behind content delivery networks
(CDNs) and proxy architectures, and security teams defending against
sophisticated, encrypted Web DDoS attacks.
