Radware Delivers Unprecedented Intrusion Prevention Capabilities and Denial of Service Protection in Real-World Tests

DefensePro Proven to Offer Comprehensive Application Security and Performance Capabilities at High Throughput Speeds

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 Tolly Group confirm that DefensePro offers comprehensive Intrusion Prevention Switch (IPS) capabilities. Results showed that DefensePro not only provides standard IPS capabilities to isolate, block and prevent attacks at 2.5 Gbps throughput, but also offers advanced security intelligence features such as attack isolation, traffic shaping, bi-directional SSL inspection, Denial of Service Protection, Mass Mailing Protection and protection against Evasion Techniques, that ensure application performance and reliability even while the network is under attack.

Realizing that application security involves more than strictly blocking malicious content, Radware enlisted The Tolly Group to conduct a series of real-world tests that examined the DefensePro 3000's ability to thwart attacks and still ensure the availability and performance of mission critical applications. In standard IPS performance tests, Radware solutions were proven to secure mission critical applications in real time across high-speed and high capacity environments. Recognition was noted to Radware on the company's integration of Intrusion Prevention and Denial of Service protection in one device as well as the ability to mitigate SSL-based attacks and SMTP mass mailing attacks.

"To guarantee both network security and application performance and reliability, an IPS solution needs to go beyond just blocking or preventing attacks," said Assaf Ronen, VP R&D of Radware. "Advanced security features like bandwidth management and attack isolation should be a requirement in any IPS solution, so that organizations can ensure end-to-end security and performance of their mission critical applications - even while in the throes of an attack. The Tolly Group's tests confirmed that DefensePro's advanced security features can block all manner of attacks while leaving these mission-critical applications unaffected."

The Tolly Group tests underscored the unique capabilities of DefensePro 3000 and concluded that:

DefensePro blocked application attacks at an unmatched speed of 2.5 Gigabits per second by identifying and mitigating protocol and traffic anomalies in real-time.

DefensePro's unique bandwidth management capability was able to isolate attacks by dynamically managing bandwidth to stop propagation across users and resources while ensuring complete continuity and performance of all secure traffic to proactively control impact and limit damage.

DefensePro prevented DoS/DDoS attacks and SYN floods, safeguarding against illicit traffic patterns and hacking. DefensePro also leveraged a wide range of DoS protection capabilities including packet-based attacks, TCP, UDP and ICMP flood protection and DHCP flood protection.

"DefensePro ranks among the strongest providers of IPS solutions we have reviewed before," stated Kevin Tolly, president/CEO of The Tolly Group. "With features like bandwidth management, SSL and evasion attack capabilities and multi-segment protection, Radware provides a solid package of cost effective application security and performance for organizations."

Is NoAdware Really A Free Anti Spyware Download?

Spyware Attack is regularly in the news by many of the Computer magazines. Moreover when i came to knew that through spyware attack, many of the companies are losing millions of dollars, I made the decision to have an anti spyware download software in my PC so that I could be safe against the security issues.

When I searched for the term "Free Anti Spyware Download", the search engine gave me a number of results. So I browsed each and every website and studied the reviews of the free anti spyware download software's.

After doing my own research, I' came to the conclusion that many of the free anti spyware download softwares are rogue softwares. When we download the free anti spyware, they install the spyware and other malware into our PC and pretend that they will clean all the spywares present in our PC.

But in fact, in reality they are installing the spyware and recommending us to buy the software. It is totally a different scenario where the software instead of helping us doing more harm.

However, there was an exception. NoAdware is a top class free anti spyware software with has many user friendly features. No Adware 5.0 is constantly updated to identify the latest threats to our privacy. The software will scan the PC for different Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and Web Bug traces.

These items not only create nuisances in the form of pop-ups, system slowdowns and crashes, but many items actually record personal information, such as credit cards, social security numbers, or other sensitive information.

However, after thorough research, I've come to the conclusion that NoAdware is a great free anti spyware download software application which really has a good potential to remove the spyware. It is one of the top revolutionary product.

For every other free anti spyware download softwares, one has to pay each year, whereas NoAdware just asked for a one off payment for lifetime use and updates. And, more amazingly, the one off payment was LESS than the annual charge of the other software packages. Finally, it was not a difficult decision in the end.
