Radware Cloud WAF Service Reviews

The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us. For blocking unknown threats and attacks, it uses machine learning. It actually learns what is normal traffic from clients. Once we got the solution, they asked us to open all requests to do some type of machine learning to understand what normal traffic is. With other elements that Radware has in its arsenal, it can differentiate between normal, human traffic and bots or even DDoS attacks. And we haven't had any false positives so far from the solution's automated analytics. On top of that, it's a very good tool because we can actually see the locations that traffic is coming from, and we can prohibit it from very specific areas of the world. One thing we have learned is how to optimize some of our code to make the application faster. The solution can react to attacks from different parts of the world and block them from entering our servers. We also use the API Discovery feature and the analysis of the contents of the API is very good. Because we are PCI-certified, we usually use external penetration tests and obfuscation of malicious code through API, and what is discovered by Radware, and blocked, is very impressive. It won't allow any callbacks unless they are from our IP. It also offers VPN connectivity that we are testing, to provide end-to-end protection. What it comes down to is that no one reaches out to our server that is publicly exposed; that exposure is only to Radware. We like that. It's easy to use the API Discovery, but you must know what you're doing. You just enable it but there are some elements that you need to provide to Radware. The only downside there is the learning process on the Radware side. You need to run it without any filters so it can actually see what normal traffic is and then it can apply the protection. In terms of integrating Radware Cloud WAF Service with the other systems and applications, everything is API-connected so it was really easy. There is a testing period and, in one case, it took us 90 days, but in another, it was only two weeks. But it integrates really well with our systems.

DDoS protection was the critical feature we wanted when we decided to go with Radware. The company faced many DDoS attacks at the time, and we didn't have a solution. It's not the only reason we chose Cloud WAF. We do use it for other use cases. Cloud WAF's interface is easy to use and protects us from OWASP Top Ten threats. Our dev team do QA checks on applications before they go live, but Cloud WAF creates an additional security layer on our website. The solution protects against multiple threat types. We see SQL injection attacks and DDoS probes constantly. Attackers attempt multiple queries and enumeration attacks against our applications. We previously had a basic firewall with an IPS feature set, but it wasn't providing the same level of protection we get from the WAF. CloudWAF matches things automatically and identifies any threats. It seems to be doing its job. We sometimes have strange code-related behavior. When our developers write some poorly written code, it generates events in Cloud WAF. It's generally effective at detecting. We had an issue with a misconfigured rule where it blocked legitimate traffic. Overall, we haven't had many issues with it in the last three years. We leave it alone.

Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks is useful. Radware Cloud WAF Service's best feature is its ability to protect against and log a wide range of unknown threats as part of its offerings. I can confidently say that Radware Cloud WAF Service serves as a comprehensive solution for both our current and prospective customers, generating revenue for us. This service guarantees high uptime and availability of all our business applications while reducing overall operational complexity. Automated event analytics are effective. We have automated event monitoring, which provides us with excellent analytical dashboards that help us identify any issues. These dashboards report, track, monitor, and ultimately resolve the issues. Therefore, the mitigation process is highly effective when utilizing these analytical dashboards. We implemented API protection as a security measure, which includes an API discovery feature. This feature helps protect APIs from attacks, making it a valuable aspect of Radware Cloud WAF Service. The API discovery feature provides outstanding end-to-end API protection. APIs play a crucial role in applications, often requiring extensive investigation. Having automated discovery and protection against external threats makes this feature even more exceptional. API discovery is a user-friendly feature that comes with an automated algorithm. The algorithm detects APIs and generates tailored security policies to identify and log any real-time API FOCA attacks. This makes it an outstanding feature. Additionally, Radware repair protection can access the automated algorithm to discover APIs and create personalized security policies that can detect and prevent API worker attacks in real-time. The API discovery aided in the reduction of our overhead costs by around 20 percent. The APIs are protected in real-time, which enabled us to decrease operational complexity and costs significantly. We provide data center services and offer both public and private cloud options to our customers. Our Radware Cloud WAF Service provides comprehensive protection against bots and APIs, safeguarding all the Internet-facing applications hosted on our platform. As a result of implementing this service, our organization has greatly benefited. The Radware Cloud WAF Service has been instrumental in reducing our false positives by nearly 25 percent. This is due to its comprehensive API protection and bot offerings, which have reduced operational complexity. The cost of managing the overall solution decreased because we now require fewer personnel. With the tool's significant automation and numerous analytic dashboards, customers now feel more comfortable and have greater peace of mind than before. I would rate the integration of Radware Cloud WAF Service a nine out of ten. This solution has user-friendly integration algorithms and features that make it easy to integrate with other applications. Once we become familiar with the product, the interfaces are straightforward to use. The software has an API, which enables different applications to communicate with each other, making it the best part of the solution. Therefore, API protection is included in the software, allowing applications to interact with each other seamlessly. Consequently, customers can feel more confident when using Radware Cloud WAF Service. Radware Cloud WAF Service reduced the effort of our IT team, therefore, freeing up their time for other projects. Radware Cloud WAF Service helped reduce our TCO because we can now offer this service to our customers. This has resulted in generating additional revenue, contributing to the overall cost savings. After three months of implementing the Radware Cloud WAF Service and selecting the product, we began to see time to value.
