MAHWAH, New Jersey,
October 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Radware®(NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of
application delivery and application security solutions for virtual
and cloud data centers, today announced that global hosting and
cloud service provider Brinkster has deployed Radware's Attack
Mitigation System (AMS) to help protect Brinkster's customers
worldwide against the new generation of sophisticated,
multi-vectored cyber attacks.
Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ,
Brinkster offers dedicated and managed hosting and cloud computing
services to over 50,000 customers ranging from small start-ups to
large corporations with the majority of its small and midsize
customers using its shared hosting services. As Brinkster's
business in this segment grew, it looked to Radware for a security
solution to protect its infrastructure against not only incoming
hacking attempts on its servers, but also attempts from hackers to
use its shared servers to launch outbound attacks. What's
more, the solution also had to meet Brinkster's rigorous demands
for uninterrupted network uptime so it could deliver on its service
level agreements (SLAs).
Radware's AMS gave Brinkster an advantage over the security
offerings of its incumbent network security provider because of
Radware's unique and evolved approach to providing converged
perimeter security. Radware's use of behavioral analysis
technology in detecting multi-vector cyber attacks set its
technology apart from the standard signature-based techniques used
by other intrusion prevention system vendors.
Also, because of the growing portion of Brinkster's data traffic
that is secured and encrypted by the SSL protocol, Radware's AMS
delivered a security solution that can detect and mitigate denial
of service (DoS) and distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks that are SSL
encrypted. Today's anti-DoS security solutions do not
effectively mitigate HTTP-encrypted DoS and DDoS attacks. Through
patent-pending technology, Radware's AMS is the first security
solution of its kind that can protect against high-rate, SSL-based,
Web-encrypted DoS and DDoS attacks.
"Radware is pleased to have been chosen to partner with
Brinkster. Our technology is ideally suited to securing cloud and
multi-tenant hosting environments, and we believe that with AMS
protection, Brinkster can fulfill its network uptime guarantee to
its customers, even if its data centers fall prey to attacks," said
Amir Peles, Vice President,
Technology, Radware. "Small businesses and enterprise customers
that depend on Brinkster can rest assured that they are protected
by the leading attack mitigation solution available."
With AMS now fully deployed, Brinkster is working with Radware
on new business opportunities such as offering premium managed
security services.
"Radware's Attack Mitigation System is the leading perimeter
protection solution for safeguarding businesses against an
increasingly complex landscape of multi-vector availability-based
threats, - including zero-day attacks that would defeat traditional
intrusion prevention technologies," said Nathaniel Kemberling, Brinkster's CTO. "The
Radware system mitigates both known and new forms of attack while
allowing legitimate business traffic to be handled as normal, so
the business continuity of our hosted cloud customers is preserved
even while under attack. Brinkster customers can be assured that
their cloud-hosted data and their businesses that depend on it are
secure and available."
About Radware AMS
Radware's AMS is a real-time network and application attack
mitigation solution that protects the application infrastructure
against network and application downtime, application vulnerability
exploitation, malware spread, information theft, Web service
attacks and Web defacement. It contains a protection layer
with security modules including DoS protection, Network Behavioral
Analysis (NBA), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Reputation
Engine and Web Application Firewall (WAF) to fully safeguard

The AMS technology is supplemented by Radware's Emergency
Response Team (ERT), professional security consultants who are

cyber attacks, Radware's ERT members gained their extensive
experience by successfully dealing with some of the industry's most
notable hacking episodes, providing the knowledge and expertise to
mitigate the kind of attacks a business's security team may never
have handled.
