Radware AMS (Attack Mitigation System)

The Radware company, the supplier of integrated solutions on optimization and protection of traffic of applications for intelligent networks, DPCs and "cloud" services, provided Radware AMS (Attack Mitigation System) — a solution portfolio for fight against the modern multi-purpose attacks directed to network equipment, servers and applications.

The platform is intended for application in large corporations, at telecom operators, in DPCs and different online businesses. Radware AMS includes the device of network security DefensePro of new generation, the AppWall protective screen for web applications and a control panel protection of network and the APSolute Vision applications and also is complemented with round the clock available service of a command of quick response of ERT (Emergency Response Team), says Radware.

"Modern network threats are distinguished by the new level of orientation and coordination. This is not about noisy mass attacks which can be reflected easily using approach using signatures" — John Pescatore, the leading analyst of Gartner told. According to him, the new attacks are intended to influence certain organizations and can have three main objectives: failure in service (DDoS attack); theft of services; drawing information loss (stealing, destruction or change of information, important for business".

As Michael Soukonnik noted, the area manager of Radware in Russia, the organization usually apply separate means of protecting and corrections of vulnerabilities: the systems of anti-DoS, an intrusion prevention system (IPS), protective screens for web applications (WAF, Web application firewalls), reputation means, solutions for the analysis of network behavior (NBA) and event management and information on security (SIEM, security information and event management). The Radware AMS platform, according to him, consolidates separate instruments of detection of the attacks and technology of counteraction at the different network layers, processing harmful traffic using intellectual methods. It, in turn, allows to identify and block in real time the actions of bots and hackers disguised under normal transactions of applications and not to limit activity of legitimate users.

"Almost all solutions of IT security applied today are point and miss multilevel attacks — Avi Chesla, the general technologies manager in Radware considers. — Producers specialize in separate types of protection, delivering only WAF, either IPS, or anti-DoS, or NBA. Or easy versions of additional protection are offered. The Radware AMS platform includes the best technologies of counteraction to cyber attacks in the integrated type, covering all range of modern hacker activity what we observed it for the last year".
