It's a highly efficient solution for dealing with web shell attacks
Pros and Cons
- "The best feature is the SQL injection signatures, and another is the DDoS protection. Radware is more efficient than other solutions."
- "Radware's bot manager can be improved because it's very complicated to implement for apps. Radware could also add alerts by WhatsApp or Telegram. It only sends notifications via email or SMS."
What is our primary use case?
We provide our clients with Cloud WAF Service, which enables us to detect and report web shell attacks against their servers.
How has it helped my organization?
The main benefit is that all traffic is shifted by the cloud service, which exists outside the customer's infrastructure. It's highly efficient. Many customers have problems inside the infrastructure that must be efficiently detected. With Cloud WAF we can notify our client when an attack is outside and detect when a web shell script is already running on the server. This information helps the client understand what's happening with the web shell.
We've reduced many false positives using Cloud WAF Service. The learning period is helpful. Radware sends a policy with a lot of information that helps the customer observe and design their policies to eliminate false positives.
Cloud WAF saves us a lot of time because we face many strong attacks. It helps us modify the back end and implement some policies to prevent more attacks.
What is most valuable?
The best feature is the SQL injection signatures, and another is the DDoS protection. Radware is more efficient than other solutions. It handles unknown threats very well. We face many bad requests with malware that are expensive to remedy. Radware's service center in the cloud helps a lot.
What needs improvement?
Radware's bot manager can be improved because it's very complicated to implement for apps. Radware could also add alerts by WhatsApp or Telegram. It only sends notifications via email or SMS.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have had issues with Cloud WAF one or two times, but the service works fine most of the time.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Cloud WAF scales very well.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Radware support nine out of 10. They have a simple platform for opening tickets, and they respond quickly.
How was the initial setup?
Our previous solution was hard to install, but Cloud WAF is straightforward because it's cloud-based. You add the certificate for the business and point it to the IP. Deployment is very fast. It takes 30 minutes to an hour. Cloud WAF requires some maintenance when a customer changes their website or programs. We need to adjust the policies.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Radware Cloud WAF Service eight out of 10. It is the best solution for stopping DDoS attacks.
