Cisco selects Radware's DDoS mitigation technology

Cisco has selected Radware, a provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centres, to provide its distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation technology for the new Cisco Firepower 9300 appliance designed for service providers.

Radware’s DDoS mitigation technology is a real-time, behavioural based, mitigation solution that helps protect against security threats targeted at the availability of the protected service, without blocking legitimate user traffic.

“We are excited to be a part of Cisco’s next generation security platform - the Firepower 9300 appliance,” said Nikhil Taneja, Country Manager and Regional Director, India and SAARC. “By incorporating Radware’s DDoS protection on the Firepower 9300 with Cisco’s unique security approach, a more threat centric solution will be available to the service providers, including advanced firewalling, DDoS protection, and other security protection services.”

“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 - before, during and after an attack,” Ashok Kumar, MD and CEO, RAH Infotech, a distributor of Radware products in India.

“We are happy to have partnered with Cisco in order to provide them with a robust DDoS protection solution that they’ve integrated into their new product line,” said Jack Sorci, Vice President of Business Development for Radware.
