Web protection has reduced municipal incidents and provides clear visibility into global attacks
Pros and Cons
  • "Radware Cloud WAF Service remains a great solution that shines in high-security, high-throughput environments where behavioral detection and hybrid multi-cloud deployment flexibility are top priorities."
  • "I do not currently have integration with a SIEM, but I have a SIEM integration planned for the next two months as I implement new tools to complete my cybersecurity area."

What is our primary use case?

Radware Cloud WAF Service is a tool for controlling the websites of the Municipio de Quito, and I have significant visibility with the tool.

For example, on two principal sites of Quito, I have implemented geo-blocking policies, and I can detect attacks from China, Russia, and other locations. I have visibility for these attacks, and this is a fundamental tool to protect the municipality.

How has it helped my organization?

Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted my organization by stopping attacks such as SQL injection attacks and geo-blocking attacks, which appear frequently in the tool logs.

I have experienced a reduction of incidents in my organization since we started using it.

What is most valuable?

I use a WAF which stands out as one of the best features Radware Cloud WAF Service offers.

It is focused on web services, and the API is a very recent proof of concept; I do not currently have features for web services. With Radware Cloud WAF Service, strong behavior, threat detection, and automated policy synchronization are features that could make it even better. I also observe DDoS protection and visibility of the forwarding and system logs.

I assess Radware Cloud WAF Service for blocking unknown threats and attacks, primarily with threats such as geo-blocking and OWASP compliance, as well as SQL injection. I do not currently see other threats in the logs.

What needs improvement?

Radware Cloud WAF Service is easy to use, and configuring and monitoring the logs is straightforward.

I do not currently have integration with a SIEM, but I have a SIEM integration planned for the next two months as I implement new tools to complete my cybersecurity area.

To reduce false positives from geo-blocking, I maintain a list of public IPs. I currently experience many false positives with my front-end firewall, as I do not have a geo-blocking solution in this firewall, but I have reduced these false positive issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

When I compare Radware Cloud WAF Service with other WAF software, we used to use different WAF software before Radware, and now we've switched to Radware. There are multiple benefits, such as cost, efficiency, threat intelligence, and multiple features, so Radware is quite impressive compared to other WAF solutions.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Regarding overhead costs, we used a different solution before Radware, so it's not quite expensive, but it is moderately expensive. Radware Cloud WAF Service does the job in a cost-effective way as.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The other WAF solutions I am referring to include Akamai and F5.

What other advice do I have?

In terms of false positives, Radware Cloud WAF Service helps reduce them to around 30 to 35%.  Cloud WAF saves me time; before, there were multiple false positive incidents that used to create too much workload for an analyst, and now we can say it has improved efficiency by 10 to 12% on average.

Radware Cloud WAF Service integrates seamlessly with other applications and solutions, although we faced difficulties with two or three vendors; other than that, it was perfectly smooth. 

Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks is very good; the threat intelligence feature is excellent in the WAF.

With the Source Blocking feature, the automated, proactive, and holistic approach based on cross-module correlation is working perfectly fine.

I use Radware Bot Manager. With Bot Manager, I haven't discovered anything new in terms of incoming bot traffic, but it helps us identify bot traffic and real traffic. Radware helps to distinguish between the two, improving things such as blocking the IPs or managing the traffic, ensuring that genuine service is available and easily accessible for real users.

Radware Bot Manager helps with compliance significantly; for instance, whenever there's a web application, it identifies bot traffic and genuine traffic, allowing us to block the bot traffic so that services for genuine users are more available. In Radware Cloud WAF Service, the real-time BLA detection and mitigation help us in a very effective way by saving time and making the solution efficient.

I use the Web DDoS for HTTP L7, and it helps us very much; it helps distinguish between malicious and genuine traffic. Approximately, there are multiple users for Cloud WAF; our organization contains a total of 60,000 to 65,000 employees who use the WAF, along with customer-facing sites that also use the service. The solution requires maintenance according to our policy, such as managing the blocking list and related tasks.

I would definitely recommend Radware Cloud WAF Service to other users because it features multiple tools that help reduce workload and manage bot traffic. Additionally, it assists in mitigating zero-day threats and notifying us further, providing numerous solutions to customer problems. Overall, I would rate the solution from 1 to 10 as eight and a half to nine.

Advanced protections have blocked most web attacks and now simplify daily threat management
Pros and Cons
  • "Before Radware Cloud WAF Service, our customers had almost four or five million requests, and they were not always clean, but now with Radware Cloud WAF Service, we see that we block almost 95 or 96 percent of the attacks that we are receiving."
  • "I also want the possibility of seeing traffic in real time because I only see a dashboard with the security events, but in regards to real time, I don't see something that tells me how the traffic behavior is."

What is our primary use case?

I use Radware Cloud WAF Service to protect customers from cyber attacks, mostly SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and degradation with DDoS attacks.

Almost every day, cyber attackers are trying to disrupt the correct functionality of the application for our customers, so I review the console in Radware Cloud WAF Service, searching for strange behavior. If I see something that is not in place, I mostly block via geolocation or IP address or by activating the advanced protection from the applications in the tenant for the customers.

Mostly, I also create different types of rules with Radware Cloud WAF Service, varying from redirections to blacklisting, to whitelisting, exceptions, rate limiting, and others to better protect the customers.

What is most valuable?

The best features Radware Cloud WAF Service offers are mostly the advanced protections because you only need to activate them, and they protect against a lot of today's most common OWASP attacks.

The advanced protections help me in my day-to-day work with Radware Cloud WAF Service because they are very effective as they attack mostly the OWASP Top 10, and they are easy to use because you only need to activate them, and by default, they block a vast gamut of cyber attacks today.

Before our customers purchased Radware Cloud WAF Service, they had a lot of breaches in their network, and after, we successfully lowered the attack rates, and by that, we protect their applications better.

Before Radware Cloud WAF Service, our customers had almost four or five million requests, and they were not always clean, but now with Radware Cloud WAF Service, we see that we block almost 95 or 96 percent of the attacks that we are receiving.

What needs improvement?

I think the things I want to improve in Radware Cloud WAF Service are, for example, the possibility to upload CSV files with IOCs, so we can load a lot of IOCs in one load instead of loading them one by one manually.

I also want the possibility of seeing traffic in real time because I only see a dashboard with the security events, but in regards to real time, I don't see something that tells me how the traffic behavior is.

Advanced protection has mitigated ddos and zero-day threats while simplifying app security
Pros and Cons
  • "Radware Cloud WAF Service can immediately determine the cause of problems and easily mitigates the vulnerabilities and attacks that it sees."

    What is our primary use case?

    The use case involves protecting applications by redirecting them to Radware Cloud WAF Service. The implementation depends on the number of applications you want to protect.

    How has it helped my organization?

    There are definitely improvements to the organization.

    What is most valuable?

    The main feature is to mitigate DDoS attacks. Radware Cloud WAF Service also provides cloud WAF services for applications to be protected, especially web applications, particularly under the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

    Cloud has a behavioral-based feature that can eliminate false positives.

    Radware Cloud WAF Service has behavioral-based AI or machine learning capability that minimizes or eliminates zero-day attacks.

    It is very important because it can eliminate zero-day using the behavioral-based feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service. It also has negative and positive security models. The positive security model determines those signature-based vulnerabilities and attacks. The negative and behavioral models eliminate zero-day attacks.

    What needs improvement?

    There is no room for improvement that I can see at this time because it is very straightforward.

    I do not think it needs improvement as it already has an AI component. Radware Cloud WAF Service has agentic AI as well, which allows you to chat with them to inquire about current vulnerabilities and resolutions. The AI will eventually provide recommendations. At this time, I do not see anything to improve. They have just added these AI features.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for about 15 plus years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    In terms of stability, I rate it as nine out of 10.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I rate it as eight.

    How are customer service and support?

    In terms of technical support, they are very responsive. The moment you open a case with them, they will respond to your case within a few minutes.

    How was the initial setup?

    The implementation actually depends on the requirements of the customers and how many applications there are to be protected. It will only take a couple of hours, or maybe an hour, to implement the initial setup. It is up to the customer to add applications that they want to protect.

    What about the implementation team?

    We assist them to do the implementation together with the Radware Cloud team.

    For our team, as we are the integrator or the distributor, we only have one who is assisting the Radware team to do the implementation. Radware has only one technical or support team that does the implementation and configuration of cloud.

    What was our ROI?

    There is probably a little cost reduction for their cloud WAF or cloud DDoS subscription.

    What other advice do I have?

    It is very simple to integrate with other third-party products, such as SIEMs, and there are no problems integrating with them.

    Radware Cloud WAF Service can immediately determine the cause of problems and easily mitigates the vulnerabilities and attacks that it sees.

    I give Radware Cloud WAF Service a support rating of nine out of 10. My overall review rating for this solution is 9 out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    Security has improved as we block DDoS and bot attacks and free our team for other work
    Pros and Cons
    • "Since using Radware Cloud WAF Service, there are reductions in attacks."
    • "There is one thing that needs to be improved in Radware Cloud WAF Service. When I am onboarding any kind of application and while bypassing those applications, it takes too much time."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Radware Cloud WAF Service is to prevent attacks. We have web applications for our company, and we need to prevent those web apps from various kinds of attacks such as DDoS or injection attacks.

    How has it helped my organization?

    We have stronger security now with Radware Cloud WAF Service.

    Since using Radware Cloud WAF Service, there are reductions in attacks. Previously, the traffic was too high, so the chances of DDoS were very high. Now we are seeing that traffic is limited and genuine, resulting in a reduction of attack attempts.

    I would say the improvement is around 80%, and as I already mentioned, it really reduces unnecessary traffic.

    It really frees up the IT team for other projects. Since Radware Cloud WAF Service is monitoring our web apps traffic and mitigating potential attacks, this saves our time.

    What is most valuable?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service offers blocking and monitoring logs, so if I want to block any kind of traffic, I can block it, and if I want to monitor, then I can monitor. These fields are good.

    Automated application mapping is good.

    I am accessing Radware Cloud WAF Service for blocking unknown threats and attacks in terms of API DDoS, geo-blocking, data leak prevention, and bot protection.

    Bot protection is really helpful for our organization to mitigate bot traffic and identify and block that traffic so that we can prevent unnecessary attacks.

    Automated analysis in Radware Cloud WAF Service is good and really helpful for us to identify the events and the traffic in those events to clarify bot traffic or unnecessary traffic and genuine traffic so that we can take the required action accordingly.

    With our existing application APIs and SIM monitoring tools, Radware Cloud WAF Service makes it easier to centralize security visibility and correlate the WAF events with other security and application data.

    Centralized protection has strengthened our web and API security while reducing manual monitoring
    Pros and Cons
    • "Since using Radware Cloud WAF Service, we have seen positive value from the solution, particularly through improved security coverage, centralized monitoring, and reduced manual effort."
    • "An area where Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve is in the initial configuration and policy tuning, as it can require technical expertise."

    What is our primary use case?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service is used to protect internet-facing web applications and APIs from application and web attacks. We took WAF services from Radware cloud and evaluated Radware Cloud WAF Service POC for preliminary technical evaluation testing.

    A specific scenario where Radware Cloud WAF Service helped protect one of our applications or APIs involved identifying the internet-facing application and API, where we tested malicious web requests, including SQL injections and cross-site scripting detection. Radware Cloud WAF Service identified suspicious requests and blocked them while normal application traffic continued through.

    An important difference about Radware Cloud WAF Service for our main use case is the combination of application security and breach prevention in a single cloud-based platform. It includes DDoS protection, bot management, API security, threat intelligence, and detailed security analytics, providing a solution for centralized visibility that integrates with our SIEM for automated use.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted our organization by strengthening the protection of internet-facing applications while improving visibility into application behavior. Our security team now has a centralized approach to monitoring and responding to threats with WAF, DDoS, and API protection together.

    Radware Cloud WAF Service helped reduce false positives during the POC, though I did not establish a reliable percentage. This improvement was noticeable, particularly after policy tuning.

    While we did not formally measure the time saved by Radware Cloud WAF Service freeing up our IT team for other projects due to constraints, the main benefit is reduced manual monitoring and operational efforts.

    What is most valuable?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service's standout features are WAF protection, DDoS mitigation, bot management, and API security in a single cloud platform. Their threat intelligence capabilities have proven particularly useful for identifying sophisticated application-layer attacks.

    In my day-to-day operations, API security stands out as an especially valuable protection because different types of threats are not picked up by a traditional WAF.

    Bot management is a unique feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service that helps to distinguish between legitimate users and malicious or automated traffic, such as credential stuffing, scraping, and excessive automated requests.

    Regarding Radware Cloud WAF Service's AI capabilities, I see the governance as valuable, as it should follow the same enterprise security principles, including strong access and auditability, while also improving threat detections and identifying normal behavior.

    The accuracy and reliability of Radware Cloud WAF Service's AI capabilities have met our expectations. I would have control around data privacy, with detection being useful for identifying abnormal behaviors and supporting threat intelligence.

    In assessing Radware Cloud WAF Service for blocking unknown threats and attacks, we tested unusual application layer request patterns to simulate previously unknown or zero-day attacks. Behavioral detection identified abnormal traffic and allowed us to investigate and block it while normal user traffic continued.

    I assess Radware Cloud WAF Service positively for integrating with other systems and applications in our environment. It can integrate with existing applications and security systems through API and logging to SIEM, enabling centralized WAF security events without disrupting existing monitoring and security tools.

    We evaluated the API Discovery feature as part of the POC, and it provided useful visibility into API endpoints and traffic. The discovery and monitoring capabilities are valuable for understanding the API attack surface.

    What needs improvement?

    An area where Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve is in the initial configuration and policy tuning, as it can require technical expertise. More simplified, guided workflows for onboarding policies would be helpful.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service has been in use for one year since implementation.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Radware Cloud WAF Service is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of Radware Cloud WAF Service is good, as it can scale with application traffic and support multiple applications without requiring significant additional on-premises infrastructure.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We did not switch from a different solution, as we previously used F5. During our evaluations for Radware Cloud WAF Service, we found it to be a good solution to augment our existing security with capabilities around application protection, DDoS, bot and API security visibility, SIEM integration, and operational efforts.

    What was our ROI?

    Since using Radware Cloud WAF Service, we have seen positive value from the solution, particularly through improved security coverage, centralized monitoring, and reduced manual effort.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice to others looking into using Radware Cloud WAF Service is to take time and conduct a POC before making a decision. Test it against your real application traffic and security requirements, especially for WAF, DDoS, and API protection, while evaluating policy tuning, false positives, SIEM reporting, and license costs. I rate Radware Cloud WAF Service an eight out of ten because the security capabilities and overall coverage are strong.

    I chose an eight out of ten rating because the security capabilities and overall coverage are strong, particularly with WAF and DDoS, but the remaining gap is mainly around simplifying ongoing policy management, increasing automation and customization of reports, and making operational support even easier.
