Radware’s New Keyless HTTPS Flood Attack Protection Allows Organizations to Identify Encrypted Attacks Without Decryption K...
July 23 2019 - 6:00AM
Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and
application delivery solutions, today announced that its
industry-leading SSL DDoS attack protection, DefenseSSL®, now
features behavioral-based algorithms for keyless protection against
HTTPS flood attacks. For the first time, organizations have
the scale needed to effectively mitigate HTTPS floods.
According to Google, the majority of internet
traffic is now encrypted and accounts for more than 70% of internet
pages. While SSL/TLS encryption is critical for many aspects of
security, it also opens the door to a new generation of powerful
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. SSL/TLS connections
require up to 15 times more resources from the destination server
than of the requesting host, meaning that threat actors can launch
devastating DDoS attacks using only a relatively small number of
connections. Radware’s keyless DDoS mitigation solution now
makes it possible to protect from SSL-based HTTP DDoS attacks at
scale without adding latency to customer communications, and while
preserving user privacy and simplifying key management.
Service providers and carriers serve many tenants
on their network and provide them with cyber-attack protections.
Due to their own security policies, network tenants cannot provide
their decryption keys to the service provider’s or carrier’s
network administrators, which leaves the providers or carriers
vulnerable to HTTPS flood attacks. With no decryption
capabilities, service providers and carriers are left with no
effective solution to provide HTTPS flood protection to their
tenants.
Radware’s Chief Marketing officer, Anna
Convery-Pelletier, said, “Our new DefenseSSL capabilities support
carriers and service providers in protecting themselves and their
customers against HTTPS flood attacks even when they don’t have
access to their tenants’ decryption keys. This unique capability
eliminates the massive operational complexity that comes with
managing decryption keys. Further, with this solution, enterprises
have the flexibility to opt for the most suitable protection to
match their needs. Enterprises that have access to decryption keys
can still choose to use those keys to decrypt suspected traffic and
increase the accuracy of their mitigation.”
Radware’s solution for keyless protection against
HTTPS flood attacks is based on a stateless architecture.
Traditional solutions are stateful and thus themselves vulnerable
to DDoS attacks. With advanced behavioral algorithms and the
combination of rate-based and non-rate-based parameters, Radware
can identify DDoS attacks over encrypted traffic, even without
inspection of the traffic’s content. Radware’s DefenseSSL
functionality is currently available across its DefensePro advanced
protection product suite. For more information, please visit
