Radware Launches The Ultimate IoT Botnet Killer (Learn More, Multi-Video)

Scalable, adaptable and highly sophisticated – IoT botnets have been involved in nearly every major recent DDoS attack.

As the botnet landscape expands and larger, more destructive threats become inevitable, it’s critical to understand these bot-based assaults and move beyond legacy security solutions.

Amidst a constant barrage of record-breaking cyber-attacks, organizations are seeking vendors that can safeguard their data while providing value in other critical ways.

Radware, a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions and a competitor in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has introduced the Ultimate IoT Botnet Killing platform!

The new DefensePro line has the most advanced, automated protection from IoT-based attacks, SSL-based threats, DNS and DDoS attacks – A comprehensive solution for protection from network layer attacks, including increased threats stemming from Internet-of-Things (IoT) botnets.

These newest additions to the Radware DefensePro line provide automated protection from fast moving, high volume, encrypted or very short duration threats, which includes:

  • IoT-based attacks like Mirai
  • Pulse, Burst, DNS, TLS/SSL attacks,
  • Those attacks associated with Permanent Denial of Service (PDoS), and
  • Ransom Denial of Service (RDoS) techniques

“By 2020, Gartner predicts we will see 26 billion connected devices,” said Carl Herberger, Vice President of Security Solutions at Radware.

“That is hundreds of thousands of new, vulnerable devices coming online every day increasing the threat surface in a way beyond comprehension.”

“The massive Mirai attack in October 2016 crippled internet infrastructure and services, and IoT Botnets have been rumored to be involved in nearly every major DDoS attack since.”

“Moreover, the future portends exponentially larger and more destructive threats,” continued Herberger.

“It is critical that companies protect their networks and assets as the IoT landscape expands.”

Radware built its new DefensePro line to overcome both the complexity and scale of these sophisticated IoT botnets.

New behavior-based algorithms protect against known and unknown DNS flood attacks in the most scalable/bullet-proof way:

Are you tired of fighting prolonged attack campaigns? Can your organization
withstand today’s sophisticated DDoS attacks?
  • Protection based on ingress-only traffic that eliminates the need for bi-directional traffic for DNS attack protection.

A single deployment model offers both authoritative and recursive DNS service protection and advanced attack coverage to protect against the latest DNS attacks, including the DNS Water Torture Attack used on Dyn US in October 2016.

The DefensePro product line’s new, in-the-box, patented SSL attack mitigation provides the lowest latency, most efficient SSL-attack protection with the widest coverage from SSL-based DDoS attacks.

In addition, new burst attack protection detects and mitigates short bursts of high-volume attacks.

With the new DefensePro line, organizations can avoid the frequent disruptions burst attacks can cause in their network server’s SLA and ensure legitimate users have uninterrupted access to services.
