Radware®, a global provider of application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, has introduced a new cloud-based Web DDoS Protection service designed specifically for encrypted traffic. Notably, the solution protects web applications from advanced threats without requiring SSL certificate sharing or traffic decryption. With this launch, Radware aims to help organizations strengthen cybersecurity defenses while maintaining privacy and regulatory compliance.
To begin with, the growing dominance of encrypted traffic on the internet has created new challenges for security teams. Today, the majority of web communications are encrypted, which makes it difficult to detect sophisticated layer 7 distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Traditionally, organizations inspect encrypted traffic by performing SSL decryption. Although this approach allows deeper threat analysis, it can also introduce privacy concerns, regulatory risks, and additional operational complexities related to key management.
Recognizing these challenges, Radware developed a cloud-based security solution that allows organizations to mitigate encrypted layer 7 DDoS attacks without decrypting traffic or sharing SSL certificates. According to the company, this innovation positions Radware as the only security provider offering a cloud-native solution capable of blocking advanced encrypted attacks while eliminating common compliance and operational concerns tied to traffic inspection.
Furthermore, the newly launched Web DDoS Protection service relies on advanced artificial intelligence and behavioral analytics to detect and mitigate threats. The system uses machine learning models and cross-correlated traffic analysis to establish baseline patterns of normal application behavior. Once the platform identifies unusual activity or anomalies, it automatically generates mitigation rules and blocks potential attacks in real time.
As a result, organizations can maintain uninterrupted application performance and availability even during sophisticated cyberattacks. In addition, the automated mitigation system continuously adapts to evolving traffic patterns, reducing the need for manual configuration or ongoing policy adjustments. This adaptive protection also helps ensure that legitimate users experience minimal disruption while malicious traffic is effectively blocked.
Another key advantage of the solution is its deployment flexibility. Organizations can implement Radware’s Web DDoS protection in several ways depending on their infrastructure requirements and compliance considerations.
First, businesses can deploy the protection through Radware’s Cloud Security Platform with the option to enable SSL decryption if desired. Alternatively, companies can choose on-premise deployments using Radware DefensePro appliances or integrate application delivery and security capabilities through Radware Alteon Protect appliances. Additionally, organizations operating in containerized environments can deploy protection through Radware Kubernetes WAAP, which supports Kubernetes-native architectures.
Because of these flexible deployment models, enterprises can select cloud, hybrid, on-premises, or containerized security environments that best align with their operational needs. Importantly, the cloud-based deployment option enables organizations to receive advanced DDoS protection without sharing SSL certificates or decrypting traffic.
Haim Zelikovsky, vice president, cloud security business at Radware, said:
“Many organizations want strong Web DDoS protection but are hesitant or unable to share SSL certificates or decrypt traffic in the cloud. This release makes our proven Web DDoS protections available as a cloud service that is designed to eliminate that requirement.”
Overall, the launch highlights Radware’s continued focus on addressing modern cybersecurity challenges in multi-cloud environments. By combining AI-powered threat detection with flexible deployment models, the company aims to help organizations safeguard encrypted applications while simplifying compliance and operational management.
