Radware Expands its Intrusion Prevention and Denial of Service
Protection Capabilities with DefenseP
New DefensePro Inline Security Solution Extends Network
Protection from the Data Center to Regional and Branch Offices
Extending security best practices beyond corporate headquarters
to safeguard regional and branch locations, Radware (NASDAQ:
RDWR) the leading provider of Intelligent Application Switching
(IAS) solutions today announced the expansion of its DefensePro
Product line. Unveiling DefensePro 100, Radware now delivers
unprecedented end-to-end security from the network core, through
the corporate gateway to the branch and regional offices. With
signature matching, regular updates, anomaly detection and
DoS/DDoS mitigation, DefensePro protects distributed networks
with an unparalleled family of Intrusion Prevention security switches.
"There is an increasing number of application level attacks
targeting data centers, network edges, and even LANs. Threats
come from all directions - internal, external, or other
corporate locations," said Charles Kolodgy, research director of
Security Product at IDC. "As a result, enterprises and carriers
must protect applications with proactive Denial of Service and
Intrusion Prevention systems that mitigate attacks along the
whole network infrastructure."
Hackers target not only corporate headquarters, but remote
locations which often have less security devices deployed. To
safeguard against this growing trend, DefensePro 100 leverages
all of the Intrusion Prevention capabilities found at
headquarters and optimizes them for regional and branch
deployments. With the expanded product line, Radware prevents
hackers from penetrating the branch and infiltrating through the
corporate private network or VPN to headquarters by blocking
worms before they hit any point in the network.
"Radware DefensePro protects our critical applications in the
network core, and we are excited about the new DefensePro 100
which will extend protection to our network endpoints," said Ken
Myung, IT Manager at Audiovox. "We rely on our network to
generate revenue and provide in-house employees and sales people
in the field with productivity services, including email and
other mission critical applications. DefensePro protection
ensures the continuity and performance of both incoming and
outgoing traffic, while giving us a unified management tool for
attack monitoring and reporting."
DefensePro features inline security switching and accelerated,
stateful, deep-packet inspection - using Radware's industry
leading StringMatch Hardware Engine - to bi-directionally scan
and protect all network traffic against application level
attacks. DefensePro intercepts over 1,500 malicious signatures,
hidden worms and viruses, blocking application attacks at an
unmatched speed of 3-Gigabits/Sec. Identifying and mitigating
protocol and traffic anomalies in real-time, DefensePro prevents
DoS/DDoS attacks and SYN floods, safeguarding against all
illicit traffic patterns and hacking. DefensePro isolates
attacks by dynamically managing bandwidth to stop propagation
across users and resources while ensuring the complete
continuity and performance of all secure traffic to proactively
control impact and limit damage. Combining high processing power
with advanced application security services DefensePro secures
mission critical applications across high-speed/high capacity
environments.
"The DefensePro Product line now delivers the most flexible and
comprehensive IPS offering in the market with protection for all
enterprise access points," said Assaf Ronen, VP R&D, Radware.
"As the number and severity of application vulnerabilities
continues to grow, Radware DefensePro provides an end-to-end
solution security solution that prevents the flow of intrusions,
viruses and worms."
