Radware, a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, announced that it expanded its relationship with one of Africa’s leading banking groups and top 10 most valuable African brands. As part of the new agreement, the customer added Radware’s Cloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) Service, Bot Manager and Emergency Response Team Services to its existing Radware solutions. The customer also uses Radware’s DefensePro DDoS Protection and hybrid Cloud DDoS Protection Service.
Today, the financial services institution provides banking services to millions of customers. With malicious bot attacks pressuring its infrastructure and disrupting user services, the bank turned to Radware to bolster its application security. The customer wanted to more accurately detect and distinguish between legit customers, good bots, and bad bots as well as improve the mitigation of a growing array of automated attacks.
