Cloud Protection

Radware DDoS handles common DDoS threats including volumetric DDoS attacks, SYN flood attacks, application layer attacks, DNS flood attacks, and zero-day unknown attacks.

A specific example of when Radware DDoS helped my organization deal with a volumetric DDoS attack occurred when we observed a sudden spike in traffic, primarily UDP and SYN traffic, which was significantly higher than the normal baseline. The traffic was inspected by Radware DefensePro, and its behavioral-based detection identified the abnormal traffic pattern, triggering the appropriate mitigation. The malicious traffic was dropped while legitimate traffic was allowed to continue reaching the application. We monitored the attack from Radware management platform, where Cyber Controller checked the attack footprint, traffic rate, and mitigation statistics and verified that the application remained accessible. This helped us reduce the impact of the attack without manually blocking legitimate users.

Radware DDoS has made a positive impact on my organization by saving resources and improving security.

Radware DDoS protection helped us save resources by identifying malicious traffic and automatically mitigating it before it could consume the bandwidth, CPU, memory, and connection capacity of our servers. For example, during a SYN flood attack or UDP flood attack, DefensePro can detect abnormal traffic behavior and block or rate-limit the attack traffic while allowing legitimate users to continue accessing the application. This reduced the load on the network and backend servers. From a security perspective, it provides behavior-based detection and automatic mitigation, so we did not have to manually respond to every attack. It also helped reduce downtime and improve application availability. In a hybrid deployment, large volumetric attacks can be delivered to cloud scrubbing, keeping our internet link and infrastructure protected.

Radware has helped reduce downtime significantly by detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks automatically before they can affect legitimate users. I cannot provide a specific number of hours of downtime avoided without our organization's incident record. For example, in Radware's financial services case study, DefensePro helped stop both network and non-volumetric attacks, improving overall network availability without blocking legitimate users. It can stop attacks within seconds, reducing the chance of service interruption and the time the security team needs to respond manually.

Radware DDoS's user-friendly interface has really impressed me and made my work easier.

The user-friendly interface stands out to me because I found Radware DDoS dashboard quite intuitive. The most useful part for me is the real-time attack and traffic monitoring dashboard, which gives a quick view of traffic, volumetric attack types, source information, mitigation status, and affected services. This helped me quickly identify whether the traffic is legitimate or malicious and take appropriate action. The attack graphs and mitigation statistics are especially useful during incident troubleshooting.

In our experience, Radware DefensePro can detect and respond to DDoS attacks within seconds, as it documents that its behavior-based detection can quickly identify abnormal behavior, generate a real-time signature, and automatically start mitigation.

After an attack starts, DefensePro responds very quickly once an attack is detected, with the time to mitigation for network flood attacks being under ten seconds on newer DefensePro. Radware also documents real-time signature detection and integration of unknown attacks within approximately fifteen seconds.

Radware has been effective against advanced attacks such as burst, DNS, SSL, and IoT botnet attacks due to its behavior detection and real-time signature generation.

Radware's behavior-based detection has worked well for real-time attack detection and minimizing false positives, as it learns normal traffic behavior and identifies deviations, allowing DefensePro to mitigate suspicious traffic while continuing to allow legitimate users.

Radware ensures that legitimate users can still access our services during a DDoS attack by using behavior-based detection and intelligent traffic classification, continuously analyzing traffic and establishing a normal traffic baseline. When it detects abnormal behavior, it applies mitigation specifically to that traffic instead of blocking all traffic, minimizing false positives and allowing legitimate users to continue accessing the applications.

I am satisfied with Radware DDoS protection overall. One area that could be improved is the monitoring and reporting aspect; it would be helpful to have this be more advanced.

I have been using Radware DDoS since 2024.

I also value having visibility and control over the AI-driven decisions, especially when automatic mitigation is involved.

My advice to others looking into using Radware DDoS would be to first understand your organization's traffic patterns and DDoS risk, then select the appropriate Radware deployment and capacity. It is also important to conduct a proper proof of concept and test the detection and mitigation capabilities before going into production. From my experience, Radware provides strong automatic detection, fast mitigation, and good customer support, while also offering scalability as traffic and security requirements grow. I would rate Radware DDoS a nine out of ten.
