Security to span corporate and customer network infrastructures
Radware, a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, today announced it has expanded its customer relationship with a prominent U.S. based communications platform as a service (CPaaS) provider. As part of a multimillion-dollar deal, the CPaaS provider purchased Radware’s hybrid Cloud DDoS Protection Services, Cloud Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), and Network Analytics. The new services add to the existing on-prem DDoS defenses Radware provides to protect the customer’s data centers.

Today, the CPaaS provider’s infrastructure includes a cloud platform, more than 10 data centers, 500 protected networks, and a global footprint, covering more than 60 countries. Radware replaced the provider’s previous vendor, when the provider was looking for a more granular DDoS detection and mitigation solution to shrink mean time to response (MTTR) without dropping legitimate customer traffic. The CPaaS provider also wanted to reduce manual countermeasures and latency while increasing its flexibility in moving efficiently and securely between on-prem and cloud environments.
“The success of this competitive take out was driven by Radware’s strong technical performance, starting with an on-premise solution and following with cloud DDoS protection for the provider’s corporate and customer network infrastructures,” said Yoav Gazelle, Radware’s chief business officer. “Our ability to counter specific threats against UDP, SIP, and VoIP traffic—a critical capability for communication providers—gave us a clear advantage and influenced the buying decision.”
Radware’s hybrid cloud DDoS protection uses dedicated, behavioral-based algorithms to work without protection gaps and defend communication providers against evolving threat vectors as their businesses grow. The solution is designed for high-speed environments with minimal impact on traffic latency.
To enhance the CPaaS’s security posture, Radware’s multi-pronged solution is built to:
- Automatically identify and surgically block harmful traffic without disrupting legitimate requests during an attack.
- Provide access to a worldwide network of cloud security service centers with 15Tbps of mitigation capacity, so DDoS attacks can be mitigated closest to their point of origin.
- Offload dirty traffic before it reaches the organization’s network to improve network efficiency.
- Eliminate errors when planning network deployments and stay ahead of DDoS threats through the early detection of network abuse during peacetime.
Radware has received numerous awards for its DDoS mitigation, application and API protection, web application firewall, and bot detection and management solutions. Industry analysts such as Aite-Novarica Group, Forrester Research, Gartner, GigaOm, IDC, KuppingerCole, and Quadrant Knowledge Solutions continue to recognize Radware as a market leader in cyber security.
