Radware adds new Threat Intelligence Service to it cloud security offering

Radware has introduced a new Threat Intelligence Service designed to help security operation center (SOC) teams, threat researchers, and incident responders enhance threat detection, identify compromised systems, and ultimately lower MTTR. The service, which is an expansion of Radware’s cloud security platform, offers them unique, real-time intelligence and pre-emptive warnings about potential network attacks so they can make more informed decisions about application and data center threats.

“Through our new Threat Intelligence Service, Radware is opening the door for customers to access the high-value attack data that we use internally,” said Gabi Malka, Radware’s chief operating officer. “This is not your standard crowdsourced intelligence. Our new service is unique in its ability to transform real-time, actionable attack data into enriched, contextual information. Our goal is to help security teams conduct even more precise and timely analyses and accelerate the detection of threat patterns and anomalies that might otherwise go unnoticed.”

Given the evolving nature of today’s threat landscape, incident management can be challenging and inefficient. Dealing with and prioritizing multiple events simultaneously without real-time visibility and clear data on the sources adds a layer of complexity for security teams that are already understaffed.

 Several key features distinguish Radware’s new Threat Intelligence Service in the marketplace -

·         Radware offers customers near real-time intelligence and actionable data generated from active real-world Layer 3 to Layer 7 cyber-attacks observed in production environments. The new service does not rely on predefined honeypot traffic or a typical crowdsourcing model, where intelligence commonly faces delays waiting for input from multiple sources.

·         Using cross-correlation with third-party sources and real-world data unbiased by honeypot traffic, Radware provides customers more relevant and more accurate intelligence. The new service is designed to enrich the quality and depth of data in SOC and security information management (SIEM) systems so security teams can conduct deeper analyses of security events, make more informed decisions, improve threat detection, and reduce MTTR.

·         To help customers protect their brand reputation, Radware’s new service identifies potential cyber-attacks originating within their networks. It automatically informs them by filtering millions of events and correlating relevant IP addresses into unique email-based Reputation Alerts.

·         Radware helps customers’ future proof business continuity by issuing preemptive warnings when IP addresses are used for malicious activity and before outbound traffic blocks occur.  This enables security teams to take swift action and prevent system downtime and service disruption.

Radware’s one-stop cloud security platform is infused with multiple layers of AI-powered intelligence and capabilities. The platform includes the company’s web application, bot management, and API, client side, and DDoS protections. It also includes delivery services such as its CDN, Load Balancer as a Service, Domain Name System as a Service, and Network Analytics Service.
