Radware DDoS Primary Use Case

Information Security Manager at a construction company with 5,001-10,000 employees

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.

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 a energy/utilities company with 501-1,000 employees

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.

The main use case for Radware DDoS Protection Service is to protect our websites, mail server, and DNS servers published on the internet.

In terms of that protection, it has been performing very well; I have not noticed specific instances where it stood out.

As the new Director of Information Security with prior experience using Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service effectively, I'm advocating for its swift implementation from a product and budgetary standpoint. Having witnessed its value in both high-volume government and financial sectors, I believe these robust DDoS and WAF protections are no longer optional but an absolute necessity for our organization's security posture.

This is Radware's cloud-based protection solution. We have deployed this for our customers but the cloud is not very popular yet in the Philippines, most customers want to have it on their hardware. If a customer encounters volumetric data this cloud protection service comes into play so that traffic can be routed to the cloud for scanning and mitigation.

We use Radware DefensePro as a part of a shock security operation center and for securing our network. For our servers, we use Radware DefensePro

I always recommend this for the banking and manufacturing sectors where we have to secure the networks. It is an anti-DDoS solution.

We have to secure our networks for all incoming traffic, denial of service attacks, and other types of intrusion. We have multiple attacks attempting to access our internal networks. 

We install Radware DefensePro as an internal application for external work, which will maintain our security so that the external attacker is unable to access our network services. 

To secure our networks from the external world for different types of attacks, we use Radware DefensePro as an anti-DDoS service, which is very effective.
