Blocking unauthorized IPs and geo-locations has become faster and more effective with stronger protection against zero-day attacks
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Blocking based on geolocation is very helpful.
The automated analytics for analyzing events are beneficial for automation and make it easier for analysts working in the SOC. It is useful for analytical purposes as it helps us understand how we can perform various activities that Radware Cloud WAF Service belongs to.
Radware Cloud WAF Service has reduced our false positive rate by more than 50%. Regarding the blocking feature, Radware Cloud WAF Service is one of the best tools as we can easily block and reduce our alerts through IP blocking. We utilize CDN services with Radware Cloud WAF Service, and although it was initially challenging to understand, once we grasped it, it became easy for us.
I am using web DDoS protection with Radware Cloud WAF Service, and it is a very good product for protecting our businesses. The WAF protection is excellent and does not require any improvements as it is already working effectively and is executable. Radware Cloud WAF Service is really good for protecting against zero-day attacks as it protects our organization and businesses effectively. For patching purposes, once a zero-day attack has been exploited, we can block some geo-locations to prevent other attackers from targeting us.
Compared to other Cloud WAFs, Radware Cloud WAF Service is one of the best since it blocks for protection purposes within 15 to 20 minutes when we raise an incident, while it takes longer for others to implement geo-fencing and related protections.
What needs improvement?
The area that can improve with Radware Cloud WAF Service is the speed at which they block geo-fencing and IP for P1 cases, which currently takes about an hour. If they could reduce that to ten to 15 minutes, it would be easier for us.

A robust solution with good behavior analysis capabilities for protecting organizations
What is our primary use case?
Our use case for Radware Cloud WAF Service is as a web application firewall. It is a security device or service that monitors, filters, and blocks the traffic between a web application and the Internet to protect it from cyber attacks.
How has it helped my organization?
Radware Cloud WAF Service is a ten out of ten for blocking unknown threats and attacks. I am very satisfied. My impressions of the automated analytics for looking at events is ten out of ten.
The automated analytics technique is basically on the next level. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze traffic, detecting anomalies, and automating the response to cyber threats in real time. Its proactive threat protection reduces false positive alerts and enhances mitigations.
We use the API discovery feature for API protection, which includes bot mitigation, API protection, and distributed denial of service DDoS protection. The API discovery feature helps us reduce overhead costs by providing a capability to automatically identify and inventory the APIs exposed by the protected web application. API discovery includes endpoint and schema learning, identification of shadow and zombie APIs, behavior analysis, and integration with API security.
We use CDN services offered by Radware Cloud WAF Service together with Akamai for our control delivery network, which connects end users from the nearest location to optimize user experience.
Radware Cloud WAF Service integrations provide a comprehensive view of our web application security by centralizing web logs into the SIEM platform for advanced detection, analysis, and incident response. It allows for correction of WAF events with other data security tools, automating workflows, and improving threat hunting. Integrated SIEM and setting up dashboards and correction rules within the SIEM gives us actionable insights.
The implementation has saved us over 90% of time. For zero-day attacks, it is effective because it uses real-time threat intelligence and machine learning. It applies adaptive behavior analysis to detect anomalies in traffic patterns and generates dynamic security policies. While signature-based detection is used for known threats, Radware's solution also implements positive security models.
The combination of negative and behavioral based positive security models involves broad detection. These combinations allow for policies, thereby avoiding false positives and false negatives. There are supervised and good networks, unsupervised cluster detection, and adaptive learning for action.
The source blocking feature blocks real-time automated cybersecurity threats from malicious IP addresses by correcting security events across multiple protection models. It automatically blocks them from accessing any protected application for a configurable duration.
We use Radware Bot Manager, which provides three-layered protection: preemptive protection that blocks malicious IP addresses and identities, behavioral risk detection with employment scene analyzer to distinguish between human and bot traffic, and options to stop or challenge bots.
Radware Bot Manager has helped in our compliance efforts with a ten out of ten rating. It provides website secure connection and automates protection against threats such as account takeover, credential stuffing, brute force attacks, and payment abuse or spam.
The real-time BLA detection and mitigation affects our threat management positively. Deep tech inspection involves analyzing network traffic flows, and Radware Cloud WAF Service scores ten out of ten. It inspects the actual content of packets to identify, classify, and act upon data and applications in real time.
We use web DDoS protection, specifically the L7 HTTP, which helps us with its AI-powered and behavior-based algorithms to generate signatures in real time and rapidly detect and mitigate L7 DDoS attacks without harm to the organization.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Radware Cloud WAF Service, which we use on a daily basis, include natural self-cooling properties. Radware offers us advanced and automated features such as continuous traffic learning, adaptive AI-driven policies, and automatic app mapping and API security protection. It also prevents us from zero-day threats, including OWASP Top Ten.
It is robust and protects our organization from vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits, bot attacks, and DDoS attacks. Additionally, it offers behavior analysis and provides hybrid deployment flexibility for both on-premises and cloud environments. These are the key benefits of Radware.
Radware Cloud WAF Service has reduced our false positives to over 90%.
What needs improvement?
In terms of areas for improvement, the price is somewhat high. More use of tools such as AI and ML is needed. AI-powered DDoS defense tools and behavior DDoS protections are in place. They should also improve visibility, control, and user interface. The dashboard needs improvement as some users find it complex.
