We use Radware DDoS for our web services, and currently, we have added one more thing; we are using it for our API gateways also. The API service we are calling is being managed through the load balancer only.

We are using the service for DDoS protection, and all applications that are accessed over the internet need to be put behind the Radware WAF. Currently, we are using 60 to 65 licenses of Radware WAF where we have onboarded these internet-exposed applications.

We are using Radware Cloud DDoS installed in our organization, and I work with a banking client where we use it to protect against outside attacks coming from external sources.

I have used Radware's WAF, HTTP, and L7 DDoS protection, which protects from layer four to layer seven. It functions as a WAF device, and for layer seven, it is very useful for us in protecting from application layer attacks. We use Radware Cloud DDoS in our organization for many purposes, such as detecting new TCP handshake violations, and we maintain contact with Radware TAC for any issues. We raise Radware TAC cases for technical assistance from the portal and receive support.

We use both Akamai and Radware DDoS, with 95% of our traffic routed through Radware DDoS itself. I have seen it effectively protect our system from external threats and malicious IPs, helping us check the traffic and block any unwanted IPs. Compared to Akamai, we find Radware DDoS cloud solution somewhat better, so we route our traffic through it.

Radware DDoS protection ensures that legitimate users are not affected during a DDoS attack by having configured policies for our banking subnets. We know our subnets, and for legitimate users, we have configured a policy allowing our endpoints through Radware DDoS. Anything other than our endpoints is detected and quarantined, and we receive alerts on our mobile if there are flood attacks. Our team gets notifications so we can log in and check the specific IP involved and quarantine it accordingly.

Radware DDoS is quite stable, and we have not encountered issues recently. Previously, we had issues with customer support, but over the past three months, I worked on TAC cases and found their response to be prompt, usually within three to four hours, providing legitimate solutions.

Radware DDoS has been quite effective in mitigating advanced DDoS threats such as burst and DNS attacks, encrypted SSL floods, and IoT botnets.

I have worked simultaneously with both Akamai and Radware DDoS. Radware DDoS was in place before I joined, but we later brought in Akamai due to previous support issues with Radware DDoS. Nonetheless, we still route 95% of our traffic through Radware DDoS.

Our primary use at the moment is on auto-scaling in AWS. By using that and changing the architecture a little bit, auto-scaling is basically only needed when it comes to high-volume times like Black Friday and end of the year. Instead of having it permanently running, it is now only used during certain times of the year when we scale up and then scale in again.

I have used Radware DDoS web DDoS protection, such as HTTP L7.

Radware DDoS dashboards are very interesting for me. The specific dashboard for analyzing traffic is very useful since I can display the different traffic of my customer for specific countries, such as Colombia, the United States, or India. This information is very important for protecting the solution. Another dashboard shows attacks, allowing me to check the amount and size for different types of attacks. In another dashboard, I can find reports, and it is very interesting how the reports work because I can configure them for different policies or physical interfaces. This is very useful for me. Another dashboard requires a license for GIL, but I don't have much experience with that feature. In general, this is good for me.

My use case is that whatever traffic is coming from the internet, all that traffic is being monitored. It is sent to their scrubbing center, and from there, anything non-genuine gets blocked as per IOC, and the genuine traffic is sent to my inside applications.

I currently use Radware DDoS to mitigate DDoS attacks, specifically highly volumetric DDoS attacks. There is an option to mitigate Layer 7 DDoS attacks to a good limit, though not fully. The better capability of this device is its machine learning capability, as it can create its own signatures on zero-day attacks.

Radware DDoS is effective at mitigating advanced DDoS threats such as burst and DNS attacks. This kind of attack is dealt with well when it comes to mitigations in Radware because the DDoS works efficiently in such scenarios.

Radware's protection ensures that legitimate, normal users are not affected during a DDoS attack because of the quota values. I set up these values based on the historic traffic I see, which is beneficial so that Radware DDoS will only be activated if the traffic is above that particular level. Another way is by using the security template, where I can allow genuine traffic based on the ports and protocols. I can create my own signatures in the security template to always allow them during a mitigation, and through these ways, I can achieve that.

Associate Manager for Network and Cybersecurity at TP Northern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPNODL)

We have been using Radware DDoS extensively for the past two years in our production network within the utility sector. Primarily, we use it for application layer filtering and for direct termination with our Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Initially, we encountered several challenges during the configuration process, primarily due to the lack of ready-made templates. However, over the last two years, we have successfully implemented filtering measures, effectively mitigating our DDoS attacks by removing unwanted traffic directed at our public IP addresses.

This system has been crucial in securing our operations and meeting our specific needs for our data center. All public domain URLs in the utility sector are hosted behind an Internet firewall, ensuring that the traffic directed to these public domains is properly managed through DDoS protection. That sums up our experience with this system.

Senior Security Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

In my previous company, I used Radware DDoS for more than one and a half years, and it was positioned in front of the perimeter firewall.

Our main use case for Radware DDoS was to protect the external services, which were deployed on Big-IP F5, and then in front of that, a Check Point firewall was there, and in front of the Check Point firewall, Radware DDoS was there, protecting all the external services for that particular company I worked for.

I can give a specific example of an attack where Radware DDoS made a difference; we verified that an attacker tried to generate a TCP flood attack originating from multiple sources, and Radware DDoS was able to mitigate that based on the security features that were enforced on it.

Regarding our use case for Radware DDoS, it was enforced for each and every application, with TPS assigned there for verifying the requests coming from each single source, either based on a single source or distributed sources.
