Feb 12, 2002 : Radware Announces DoS Shield
📅 - Radware (radware.com) a provider of intelligent applicationswitching, announced today the release of a new SynApps Architecture module,called DoS Shield.
High profile organizations are exposed to malicious Denial of Serviceattacks on a daily basis. Such organizations, which are generally connectedto the Web via high capacity links, require a flexible solution to defendtheir networks from attacks, without degrading the level of service providedon the networks' sites. Radware's DoS Shield module is designed to addressthese needs.
Radware's new security module provides organizations with DoS detection andprotection capabilities while maintaining high network throughput andsustaining Gigabit throughput, the company says. Using an advanced samplingalgorithm, Radware's DoS Shield detects when active attacks begin to consumelarge amounts of the network's bandwidth, and immediately block them.Legitimate traffic proceeds normally.
"Any delay in network availability can be a costly proposition for thecompany and its current and potential partners for doing business," saidZeus Kerravala, director, Yankee Group. "Threats to the network need to befended off with the ultimate goal of differentiating legitimate traffic andpermitting that traffic to get through while quashing that harmful trafficbefore it even gets to the network. An innovate answer is one that willprotect and not degrade any of the network resources performance."
"There is no other solution available in today's market that provides thislevel of protection against DoS attacks, while sustaining such a highthroughput," said Amir Peles, CTO, Radware. "A realtime detection andprotection scheme, coupled with the powerful computing capabilities of theApplication Switch II platform provides maximum security at maximum speed."
