Radware Expands Intrusion Prevention Capabilities in New
DefensePro Version to Safeguard Against SSL
Version 2.4 Provides Unprecedented Protection Against SSL
Attacks While Dynamically Managing Bandwidth to Block Threats to
the Network
Radware (NASDAQ; RDWR) the leading provider of Intelligent
Application Switching solutions ensuring the end-to-end
availability, performance and security of networked applications
today announced the expansion of its DefensePro product line.
With the unveiling of DefensePro version 2.4, Radware now
protects against SSL-based attacks, ensuring that hackers - many
of whom have learned to exploit SSL tunnels to evade network intrusion prevention measures - can no longer exploit
this unprotected pathway to launch DoS/DDoS attacks.
Intercepting over 1,500 malicious signatures, hidden worms and
viruses, DefensePro 2.4 blocks application attacks at an
unmatched speed of 3-Gigabits/Sec. Leveraging years of
experience with SSL acceleration and SSL sniffing, Radware
integrated its SSL sniffing capabilities with DefensePro,
scanning encrypted traffic and blocking attacks. Handling up to
15,000 SSL transactions per second, the Radware solution offers
remarkable scalability of SSL protection for seamless service
volume growth.
"SSL Encryption is an important security tool, but it can also
be used as an evasion technique. Attacks hidden within an SSL
tunnel can evade even the strictest intrusion prevention
policies and technologies," said Charles Kolodgy, research
director of Security Products at IDC. "As a result, enterprises
and carriers must protect applications with pro-active security
systems that can discover and prevent SSL attacks by being able
to peer into the encrypted traffic."
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.
DefensePro's port density enables high capacity scanning across
multiple network segments for increased protection against
attacks originating from both inside and outside the network. By
integrating Denial of Service protection with its IPS
capabilities, DefensePro delivers the security and performance
that high capacity environments require.
"Increasing sophistication among hackers has created an
environment where many organizations are hard-pressed to stay
one step ahead of they latest worm, exploit or BotNet," said
Assaf Ronen, VP R&D, Radware. "Our mission has always been to
ensure the security, performance and reliability of networked
applications and we realize that point IPS solutions aren't
enough. Now, with SSL protection in DefensePro 2.4,
organizations worldwide can stem the tide of ever evolving
information security threats."
