Radware on Tuesday announced its fastest attack mitigation solution yet, the DefensePro x420. The x420 is an upgrade to their DefensePro offering, and is designed to help customers withstand sustained DDoS attacks.
Available immediately, Radware claims that its upgraded DefensePro can handle up to 25 million packets per second of attack traffic (regardless of packet size) and a throughput of 40Gbps. The performance increase is focused on dealing with attacks that destroy customer experience, and have the potential to take down systems for weeks on end, Avi Chesla, chief technology officer at Radware said.
“As organizations are overwhelmed by crippling network and application level attacks, industry demands have called for a more powerful, high-capacity solution,” Chesla said. “Our response is DefensePro x420, which is agnostic to packet size and capable of separating legitimate and non-legitimate traffic between hardware components.”
Radware’s attack mitigation solution includes integration of inspection and analysis modules, including Anti-DoS, Network and Application Behavioral Analysis (NBA), IPS, Web Application Firewall (WAF) and reputation engine capabilities that continuously monitor traffic.
In addition to traffic load, the x420 has separation abilities too, where it’s able to tell the difference between attack traffic and legitimate (good) traffic. Radware says that the processing hardware that splits the traffic does so with no degradation and allows the organization to deal with an ongoing attack while the user experience isn’t diminished. Radware has also added both 10G and 40G ports to the x420, in order to support current and future networks.
