Radware’s AppDirector named ‘Best in Global Load Balancing;’ DefensePro earns ‘Best in Behavioral Security’

Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that Network Products Guide, the industry’s leading publication on information technologies and solutions has named AppDirector and DefensePro winners of the 2009 Best Products and Services Award for Best in Global Load Balancing and Best in Behavioral Security, respectively. This annual award honors products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of technology end-users worldwide. As part of the tech-industry’s leading global awards program, this year’s Best Products and Services were nominated from all over the world.

AppDirector, awarded the Best in Global Load Balancing, is Radware’s intelligent application delivery controller (ADC) that enables accelerated application performance; local and global server availability; and application security and infrastructure scalability for fast, reliable and secure delivery of applications over IP networks. By optimizing server infrastructure resources and enabling seamless consolidation and high scalability, AppDirector drives productivity and return on investment. Furthermore the global load balancing feature enables transparent redirection of transactions to a public or hybrid cloud data center, providing on the fly scalability on demand. Powered by Radware’s innovative OnDemand Switch platform, AppDirector superior provides scalability to meet evolving network and business requirements by allowing organizations to only pay for the throughput level their application's transactions require

Recognized as the Best in Behavioral Security, Radware's DefensePro is a network security Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that was designed to fulfill existing and future security requirements. Based on Radware’s APSolute Immunity initiative designed to maintain business continuity by protecting application infrastructures, DefensePro includes both vulnerability-based signature protection - against known attacks and exploits as well as a unique behavioral-based, automatically generated real-time signature - preventing emerging threats including zero-minute and non-vulnerability-based attacks that cannot be protected by signature technology. DefensePro's "smart" balance between behavioral-based and signature-based protections position it as a solution that can achieve better security performance resulting in the perfect solution to repeal most emerging threats.

“We are proud to be recognized as an industry leader with these two prestigious awards from Network Products Guide,” said Roy Zisapel, CEO, Radware. “We remain committed to maintaining superior customer support and comprehensive solutions for our worldwide customers in an effort to continue the high level of trust they have in us and our products.
