Radware and VimpelCom Introduce a Joint Comprehensive Solution for Protection Against DDoS Attacks
Monday 31 March 2014
Radware® (Nasdaq:RDWR) a leading provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers and OJSC VimpelCom (Beeline TM), part of the VimpelCom Group today announce a new service for business customers called "Protection from DDoS attacks." The service is based on Radware's Attack Mitigation System (AMS), a real-time network and application security solution.
DDoS attacks have become increasingly complicated and legacy defense systems not only fail to prevent these attacks but oftentimes, become the target. Today's mitigation against DDoS attacks requires specifically tailored products. Radware's DefensePro® and AMS successfully solve this problem by enabling full automatic protection in seconds.
Following the rising demand for cloud based anti-DDoS services in Russia, Beeline Business and Radware's new joint service for business customers offers several key differentiation points compared to legacy defense systems:
Shortest time to protection
Widest attack coverage, including mitigation of SSL based attacks
Volumetric network attacks mitigated by Beeline Scrubbing Center
No SLA degradation – no effect on user-experience without impacting legitimate traffic
24x7 support by Beeline's SOC and Radware Emergency Response Team
Customer intervention not required for mitigation process
Minimal configuration
System changes not required
"We understand the problems our Enterprise customers face today. As one of the largest Internet service providers and business entities in Russia, we often witness an escalating number of network attacks," says Sergey Petrov, vice-president, head of B2B business unit VimpelCom, Russia. "This new solution allows our customers to successfully protect their assets against DDoS attacks and to decrease the cyber threats in real time. When the customer seeks a solution from a single service provider, that end user will also receive full access to the benefits of the Beeline Business services."
"Radware Enterprise customers have documented successful protection from DDoS attacks and as a result, we have received numerous requests for operator services based on our solutions," says Michael Soukonnik, Radware CIS and Baltic regional director. "We are very pleased to offer this joint solution and equally impressed that Beeline Business was able to successfully develop and implement a new service in a short period of time."

Radware and Lancope Partner to Offer Robust DDoS Protection Solution for Service Providers and Enterprise Networks
Wednesday 26 February 2014
Radware® (Nasdaq:RDWR), a leading provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, and Lancope, Inc., a leading provider of network visibility and security intelligence to defend organizations against today's top threats, announced today that they have partnered in order to offer service providers and enterprises an enhanced attack detection and mitigation solution against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
By deploying Lancope's StealthWatch System with Radware's Attack Mitigation Network (AMN) distributed detection layer, Radware's customers enhance their already robust coverage with NetFlow-based traffic statistics and detection. The combined solution will enable service providers and enterprises to detect DDoS attacks in a non-intrusive manner and divert suspicious traffic only to scrubbing centers for attack cleansing.
Radware's AMN combines distributed detection and mitigation elements, which are maintained synchronized with legitimate traffic baselines and attack information in real-time. AMN expands the detection coverage across all enterprise resources and automates the mitigation by selecting the most effective tools and locations – in the data center, at the perimeter or in the cloud.
This detection and mitigation solution features stronger investigative workflows than other flow solutions, providing a much more in-depth network picture.
"The best-of-breed combination of Radware's AMN with Lancope's StealthWatch System provides a granular view of the network based on flow statistics, which contain both traffic engineering and security analysis, to look for anomalies that carry the characteristics of a DDoS attack," says Amir Peles, vice president of technologies for Radware. "By selectively diverting the anomalous flows through Radware's attack mitigation engine, attacks can be blocked with no interruption to legitimate traffic. Feeding 'peacetime' traffic baselines into Radware's patented Network Behavioral Analysis enables accurate detection and blocking of L3-L7 attack vectors."
"DDoS attacks have been around for a long time, but they continue to evolve as new techniques are introduced, so companies are in search of a comprehensive detection and mitigation defense," said Jim Davis, Senior Analyst with 451 Research. "Organizations need to not only detect and respond to DDoS attacks, but they also need an elegant and scalable means of remediation. Enterprises don't always have enough expertise at hand to respond to attacks. The coupling of deep network visibility and real-time detection with robust mitigation capabilities enables customers to quickly respond with the limited resources they have."
"With our combined efforts, we are able to monitor large network behavior on a continuous basis to detect network anomalies, and effectively isolate attacks in order to neutralize them on the network edge," says Tim "TK" Keanini, chief technology officer at Lancope. "This scalable solution goes beyond traditional network security solutions as it uses behavioral technology to identify and block both known and unknown attacks with minimal user intervention."

Radware Offers New Attack Mitigation Security Architecture for Enterprise Networks
Tuesday 25 February 2014
Radware® (Nasdaq:RDWR), a leading provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, announced a new holistic security architecture that combines distributed detection and mitigation elements called Attack Mitigation Network (AMN) – a security solution that expands detection coverage across all enterprise resources and automates the mitigation by selecting the most effective tools and locations – in the data center, at the perimeter or in the cloud.
As a result, AMN offers unprecedented protection against availability-based threats on all fronts.
"Large Enterprises are constantly faced with complex attack campaigns such as multi-vector attacks and challenges such as the need to protect their applications in the cloud and private data centers," says Avi Chesla, chief technology officer, Radware. "As AMN will automatically select the most optimal tool to use against an attack in real-time, it is the only solution in the industry that synchronizes traffic baselines and attack information among all mitigation tools across private and Cloud IT infrastructure. This allows a more accurate and efficient way to mitigate attacks."
Radware's AMN is a revolutionary attack protection solution that combines existing and emerging detection technologies such as traditional anomaly detection tools and future attack detection technologies such as SDN based security applications into a centralized monitoring and control system that works in sync for increased visibility and security across the Enterprise. The result is a robust solution that enables scalability without losing mitigation accuracy to better fight complex attack campaigns by pushing mitigation away from the data center, while still allowing business continuity during an attack.
"This future-proof solution can interface with not only existing security and anomaly detection tools but with future SDN security applications as well, thus ensuring AMN can scale with the needs of the organization when it's required," added Chesla.

Radware Announces Next-Generation SDN and NFV Solution Strategy for Mobile Carriers and Service Providers
Monday 24 February 2014
Radware® (Nasdaq:RDWR), a leading provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, today announced a next-generation software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) solution strategy for mobile carriers and service providers. Radware's new solution strategy leverages SDN and NFV to pioneer an integrated security and application delivery framework that seamlessly enables comprehensive cyber defense and service delivery as network-wide native services.
Long Term Evolution (LTE) continues to gain momentum, exhibiting unprecedented mobile traffic demand and setting more stringent cost-effectiveness requirements. As competition rises with the growth of the mobile market place, mobile operators must adopt next-generation technologies to keep up with the demands of an evolving network. Through Radware's new SDN and NFV solution strategy, mobile operators can now address this challenge head on by building smarter, programmable and more flexible GiLAN networks through SDN and NFV based solutions.
"Though many IT pros are inclined to stand these two concepts up against each other, as in SDN vs. NFV, these two revolutionary networking developments don't represent an either-or proposition. In fact, it instead looks very much like a both-and deal — as in, 'both SDN and NFV are likely to find a place in modern enterprise networks and carrier infrastructures,'" says Ed Tittel, technology writer in a recent article for CIO.
Radware's next-generation product line for mobile carriers and service providers includes new control-plane and data-planes solutions designed to be integrated within the upcoming SDN ecosystems –includes:–
DefenseFlow™ – As the industry's first SDN DDoS offering, DefenseFlow is a unique cyber security control-plane application that enables comprehensive multi-layer, real-time defense against application and network DoS attacks and mobile APTs (advanced persistent threats)
Alteon® NFV – A fully automated, fully NFV-compliant, high performance ADC VNFC that delivers a breadth of layer 4-7 services such as GiLAN load-balancing, steering, service-chaining and more
SteerFlow – A service–delivery control-plane application that enables GiLAN data-plane steering and service-chaining scalable up to 1TB
As leader in the SDN industry, Radware actively contributes to open source and standards including Open Networking Foundation, OpenDaylight and OpenStack, in addition to broad partnerships with Cisco, HP, NEC, IBM, Mellanox and more.
"Mobile carriers and service providers can greatly benefit from Radware's deep working relationships with the SDN and NFV ecosystems as the company has played an integral role in defining standards and technologies in this area from the ground up," said David Aviv, vice president of Advanced Services. "Through Radware's new solutions strategy, mobile operators can seamlessly integrate applications to automate virtual data center workflows, communicate with SDN controllers, scale on by leveraging the NFV infrastructure, and much more."

New Radware Research Reveals Top Retailer Sites 21 Percent Slower in Just One Year
Tuesday 11 February 2014
Radware®(Nasdaq: RDWR), a leading provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, today released a new study titled "State of the Union: Ecommerce Page Speed & Web Performance, Winter 2014."
This latest study reveals that pages of the top 500 retail websites are not only bigger, but slower than ever and not meeting the demands of online shoppers. The median top 500 ecommerce home page takes 9.3 seconds to load, which is an increase of 21% in just one year, with 50% of top ecommerce sites taking 10 seconds or more to load. The report also states that among the top 100 ecommerce sites the median load time for a page is 10 seconds, which is slightly up from 8.2 seconds last year. Additionally, earlier established research reveals the maximum threshold that a typical Internet user is willing to wait for a page to load is 10 seconds – a startling half of the top 100 retail sites do not meet this threshold.
Radware's quarterly "State of the Union" report measures and tracks the performance and page composition of the top 500 U.S. retail websites (as ranked by analytics firm Alexa.com) over a two-day period with the purpose of gaining ongoing visibility into the real-world performance of leading Ecommerce sites. The study also aims to learn how these sites perform for visitors using the Internet under normal browsing conditions and provides strategies and best practices to enable site owners to enhance site performance.
Key findings from Radware's latest report include:
1. The median page has slowed down by 21% in just one year. The median top 500 ecommerce home page takes 9.3 seconds to load. A year ago, the median page took 7.7 seconds to load. The majority of online shoppers will abandon a page after waiting 3 seconds for it to load.
2. The top 100 sites are slower than the top 500. Among the top 100 ecommerce sites, the median load time is 10 seconds – up from 8.2 seconds at this time last year. The maximum threshold that a typical internet user is willing to wait for a page to load is 10 seconds, meaning that half of the top 100 retail sites do not meet this threshold.
3. Pages are taking longer to become interactive. "Time to interact" (TTI) refers to how long it takes for a page's primary content to load and become usable. In 2013, the median TTI was 4.9 seconds. Now it's 5 seconds. Some may not consider this a significant increase, but it will be interesting to see how this trend develops in the future.
4. Pages are now bigger and heavier. The median ecommerce page contains 99 resources (e.g., images, CSS files, etc.). A year ago, the median page contained 93 resources. The median page is 1436 KB in size, a 31% increase over the median page weight of 1094 KB just one year ago. This growth is partially responsible for the increase in load time.
5. The adoption of some core performance best practices has reached a plateau. In spring 2013, 74% of the top 100 ecommerce sites used a content delivery network (CDN): this number has grown to 80%. Keep-alives have plateaued at a 93% implementation rate. Image compression is still not widely adopted: implementation rate continues to stand at 9%. While the adoption rate of long-standing best practices has not increased significantly, findings revealed that the use of progressive JPEGs, a practice that had fallen out of favor but is now on the upswing, has increased from 6% to 10%.
"As 2013 had its share of website outages from Amazon to Healthcare.gov, we also see that site slowdowns can also cause a negative impact on brand perception," said Tammy Everts, web performance evangelist, Radware. "Slowdowns occur 10 times more frequently than outages, and over time, slowdowns can have double the negative financial impact as outages. This also has a major long-term impact on customer retention, as the permanent abandonment rate for a slow site is up to three times greater than the abandonment rate for a site that is down."
Everts also added, "We're also seeing an uptick in load times as web pages are getting bigger and heavier, and at 5 seconds, the median time it takes to interact with a page does not meet consumer expectations. All of this equates to a longer wait time for the customer, who may abandon a page if it takes longer than three seconds to load."

An infographic on the findings of page speed and web performance can be accessed here: http://www.slideshare.net/Radware/radware-sotu-winter2014infographicwebperformance
Methodology
The tests in this study were conducted using an online tool called WebPagetest – an open-source project primarily developed and supported by Google – which simulates page load times from a real user's perspective using real browsers. Radware tested the home page of every site in the Alexa Retail 500 nine consecutive times. (The system clears the cache between tests.) The median test result for each home page was recorded and used in the calculations. The tests were conducted between January 16-26, 2013 via the WebPagetest.org server in Dulles, Va., using the latest version of Chrome (31.0) on a DSL connection.
In very few cases, WebPagetest rendered a blank page or an error in which none of the page rendered. These instances were represented as null in the test appendix. Also, in very few cases, WebPagetest.org rendered a page in more than 60 seconds (the default timeout for webpagetest.org). In these cases, 60 seconds was used for the result instead of null. To identify the time to interact (TTI) for each page, Radware generated a timed filmstrip view of the median page load for each site in the Alexa Retail 100. TTI is defined as the moment that the featured page content and primary call-to-action button or menu was rendered in the frame.
