Radware DefensePro Nets NSS Approved Status for its IPS Solution
Helping organizations secure, optimize and ensure performance
for mission critical applications, Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR) the
leading provider of Intelligent Application Switching solutions,
announced that recent independent tests by the NSS Group, an
independent security testing facility, confirm that DefensePro
offers comprehensive and reliable Intrusion Prevention System
(IPS) capabilities.
Realizing that application security involves more than strictly
blocking malicious content, Radware submitted its DefensePro
3000 to the NSS Group's IPS testing program, during which they
conducted a series of real-world tests that examined
DefensePro's ability to thwart attacks while ensuring the
availability and performance of mission critical applications.
The NSS Group's rigorous, independent tests proved that
Radware's DefensePro 3000 secured mission critical applications
across high-speed and high capacity environments. Moreover, NSS
Group found DefensePro's throughput and latency are excellent
under almost all network loads and across all packet sizes,
underscoring Radware's assertion that DefensePro offers industry
leading defense and application availability.
"Beyond blocking or preventing attacks, an IPS solution must
also guarantee network security and application performance and
reliability," said Assaf Ronen, vice president of research and
development, Radware. "The NSS Group's tests confirmed that only
DefensePro's advanced security features can block all manner of
attacks while leaving these mission-critical applications
unaffected."
The NSS Group tests underscored the unique capabilities of
DefensePro and concluded that:
Under eight hours of extended attack (comprising millions of
exploits mixed with genuine traffic), DefensePro blocked 100
percent of attack traffic, while passing all legitimate traffic.
DefensePro's switching architecture helped it post excellent
latency figures under all traffic loads.
DefensePro demonstrated impressive SYN protection, processing
100Mbps of SYN flood traffic with negligible latency while
safeguarding against illicit traffic patterns and hacking.
DefensePro blocked application attacks at a speed of 1-Gigabit
per second by identifying and mitigating protocol and traffic
anomalies in real-time.
"Radware's overall performance is quite impressive," said Bob
Walder, Director, NSS Group. "Our tests found that DefensePro
detected and, more importantly, blocked all attacks -even when
subjected to extreme conditions."
