More About Radware

Radware focuses on security and application delivery technologies used in enterprise, government, and service provider environments to protect online services and maintain availability under hostile or unpredictable network conditions. Its offerings are deployed in data centers, public cloud platforms, and hybrid infrastructures, where organizations need protection against denial‑of‑service attacks, application‑layer exploits, and automated bot traffic, along with traffic management for business‑critical applications.

The company’s distributed denial‑of‑service (DDoS security) portfolio is positioned to detect and mitigate volumetric, protocol, and application‑layer attacks across on‑premises and cloud environments. Architectures commonly use always‑on or on‑demand cloud scrubbing centers combined with on‑premises appliances or virtual appliances located at network edges or data centers. These solutions rely on traffic baselining, anomaly detection, behavioral analysis, and real‑time signaling using standard routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for diversion of attack traffic to mitigation infrastructure. For enterprises and service providers, this approach enables protection of internet‑facing services and infrastructure such as web portals, Domain Name System (DNS), Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, and customer applications.

Radware’s WAAP offerings (application security) address HTTP/S application traffic, APIs, and microservices-based architectures. Capabilities typically include Web Application Firewall (WAF) functionality, protection against the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 vulnerability categories, bot management, and Application Programming Interface (API) discovery and enforcement. These services are delivered as cloud‑based protection, on‑premises virtual or physical appliances, or integrated with load balancing platforms, and are used to secure web applications, mobile backends, and business APIs that handle authentication, payments, or sensitive data exchange.

In application delivery networking, Radware supplies application delivery controllers and load balancers (application delivery networking) that distribute traffic across servers, support global server load balancing between sites or regions, and provide features such as SSL/TLS offload, health checks, and content switching. These controllers can be deployed as hardware appliances, virtual appliances, or cloud‑native instances in major public clouds. Enterprises use them to support availability and performance for web, enterprise, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, integrating them into Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) segments, internal networks, or cloud virtual private networks.

Radware also offers cloud security services (cloud security) that integrate DDoS protection, web application and API security, and bot management into a unified platform with centralized policy management. Security analytics and automation (security operations) provide dashboards, reporting, and automated responses to detected threats, often using Machine Learning (ML) for behavioral models and anomaly detection. These tools are designed to fit into Security Operations (SecOps) center workflows and to integrate with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or Security Orchestration Automation Response (SOAR) platforms through APIs and standard logging formats.

Within marketplace and technology taxonomies, Radware aligns with categories such as DDoS protection, WAAP, bot management, application delivery controllers/load balancers, and cloud security services. Its offerings are oriented toward organizations that run internet‑exposed applications, depend on consistent online service availability, and operate hybrid or multi‑cloud infrastructures that require coordinated security and traffic management across network boundaries.
