Radware launches new real-time threat intel service

Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR) has announced the expansion of its cloud security platform with the launch of a new Threat Intelligence Service. This addition is designed to support security operation centre (SOC) teams, threat researchers, and incident responders in identifying compromised systems, improving threat detection, and ultimately reducing Mean Time to Response (MTTR).

The new service delivers unique, real-time intelligence on application and data center threats. Radware’s Chief Operating Officer, Gabi Malka, emphasised that the service offers unparalleled access to the same high-value attack data Radware’s internal teams utilise.

“Through our new Threat Intelligence Service, Radware is opening the door for customers to access the high-value attack data that we use internally,” said Malka.  “This is not your standard crowdsourced intelligence. Our new service is unique in its ability to transform real-time, actionable attack data into enriched, contextual information. Our goal is to help security teams conduct even more precise and timely analyses and accelerate the detection of threat patterns and anomalies that might otherwise go unnoticed.”

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, incident management grows increasingly complex. Security teams often face the daunting task of managing and prioritising multiple events at once, a challenge compounded by a lack of real-time visibility and clear data on attack origins. Radware’s new service aims to alleviate this burden by offering several key features that distinguish it from other threat intelligence services.

Real-Time, Actionable Intelligence

Unlike traditional services that rely on delayed, crowdsourced data, Radware’s Threat Intelligence Service provides near real-time insights. This intelligence is derived from active Layer 3 to Layer 7 cyber-attacks observed in production environments, allowing security teams to respond to threats as they unfold.

Superior Data Quality

Radware’s solution enriches SOC and security information management (SIEM) systems by cross-referencing real-world data with third-party sources. The service avoids reliance on honeypot traffic, making it more relevant and accurate. This enhances security teams’ ability to analyse security events, make informed decisions, and ultimately reduce MTTR.

Reputation Alerts for Brand Protection

Radware’s service also helps protect customers’ brand reputation by identifying potential cyber-attacks originating within their networks. The system filters millions of events and correlates IP addresses to provide email-based Reputation Alerts, allowing security teams to address threats before they escalate.

Preemptive Warnings for Business Continuity

To help ensure business continuity, Radware’s service issues preemptive warnings about malicious activity. These warnings allow security teams to act swiftly, preventing system downtime and service disruptions before they occur.

Comprehensive Cloud Security Platform

Radware’s expanded cloud security platform offers multiple layers of AI-powered intelligence. In addition to the new Threat Intelligence Service, the platform includes protection for web applications, bots, APIs, and DDoS attacks. It also features delivery services such as CDN, Load Balancer as a Service, DNS as a Service, and Network Analytics.
