DefenseFlow

Detect and Mitigate Network-wide Attacks

DefenseFlow automates security incident response operations—even in the most complex environments.

What Does DefenseFlow Do?

DefenseFlow is a network DDoS attack prevention and cyber control application designed to detect and mitigate network-wide, multi-vector attacks. DefenseFlow supports always-on/SmarTap and hosted customer protection use cases for service providers to provide the widest DDoS attack defense and detection coverage coupled with immediate attack mitigation.

SDN-Based DDoS Attack Prevention with Radware’s DefenseFlow

Radware’s DefenseFlow is a networkwide distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack prevention and cybersecurity solution that supports SDN/OpenFlow networks by providing new ways of detecting and mitigating networkwide, multivector cyberattacks. DefenseFlow is the first SDN application that programs networks for DDoS security and provides automated networkwide mitigation services and defense against any DDoS attack in real time. Overcome the challenges associated with networkwide security via a single, automated security solution that leverages network technologies to provide attack mitigation as a native network service.

Radware delivers tremendous value in the form of a broad suite of DDoS mitigation solutions to meet the specific needs of any enterprise—solutions that are integrated, and that leverage the latest cutting-edge DDoS mitigation technologies to stop even the most determined threat actors.”

Radware’s approach to addressing the challenges facing service providers involves three main components:

Distributed Detection

Able to detect a single threat across the entire network utilizing dedicated security probes, existing network elements and additional 3rd party security components. SDN DDoS attack defense and detection capabilities include both infrastructure and application DDoS threats utilizing Layer 4-7 inline/SmarTap solution.

Distributed Mitigation

Able to mitigate SDN DDoS attacks and other cyber attacks at the optimal location utilizing different mitigation components.

Centralized Control

As the facilitator of the distributed network, it is able to collect input from Distributed Detection elements and then aggregate, correlate and analyze in the context of the protected service.

Key Benefits of DefenseFlow

DefenseFlow Use Cases

Radware offers different use cases with DefenseFlow DDoS attack prevention and cyber control and command along with DefensePro for out of path DDoS attack defense and mitigation:

Third party NetFlow-based attack detection

Integrating with existing third party NetFlow-based attack detection solutions, attack life cycle management and DDoS attack mitigation solution.

Integrated NetFlow-based attack detection

Improves on use case 1 by offering DefenseFlow's patent-protected behavioral NetFlow based attack detection engine. One stop shop attack detection and mitigation solution including NetFlow collector, attack detection, attack life cycle management and DDoS attack mitigation solution.

OpenFlow-based attack detection (SDN)

One stop shop DDoS attack defense, detection and mitigation solution for SDN-enabled networks including OpenFlow based attack detection, attack life cycle management and attack mitigation solution.

Attack Life Cycle Control with DefensePro as Attack Detector

Datacenter applications are protected by advanced inline / SmarTap detection with signaling to activate higher tier mitigation when necessary.

Attack Life Cycle Control with DefensePro or NetFlow Detection

Granular per-tenant DDoS attack defense and detection, protecting hosting provider customers against lower volume DDoS attacks that would normally go undetected.
