Cisco signs Radware as an OEM for DDoS mitigation

Radware, provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centers, has announced that it has been assigned by Cisco Systems, to provide its distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation technology for the new Cisco Firepower 9300 appliance designed for service providers.

Cisco Systems selected Radware's DDoS mitigation technology as it correctly identifies and reduces cyber threats, especially those targeting application availability and it does so in the shortest amount of time. Radware's DDoS mitigation technology is a real-time, behavioral based, mitigation solution that helps protect against security threats targeted at the availability of the protected service, without blocking legitimate user traffic.

“Cisco's threat centric security solutions bundled with DDoS mitigation powered by Radware on the Firepower 9300 appliance, will help detect aberrant activity on the network and protect service providers, their customers and their data from advanced threats,” said Ashok Kumar, MD & CEO, RAH Infotech.

Through this integrated security approach, Cisco can provide enhanced agility by allowing security to dynamically follow workloads and data flows through open and programmable networks. This can help service providers avoid problems traditional security service silos present.
