Case Study: University of the Balearic Islands achieves 99.99% availability and robust network security with Radware’s DefensePro

99.99% Security and Availability for University of Balearic Islands’ Network with Radware’s DefensePro

The University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) is a public Spanish university serving over 13,000 students and 1,500 staff across multiple campuses. Its Center for Information Technologies (CIT) manages a large, high-speed campus network but found traditional firewalls unable to stop evolving threats—intrusions, worms, DDoS and encrypted attacks—putting 24/7 Internet and Intranet availability at risk.

CIT deployed Radware’s DefensePro with Insite management as a standalone inline defense, providing intrusion prevention, behavioral/anomaly detection, SSL/encrypted attack protection, DoS/DDoS mitigation and dynamic bandwidth isolation. The solution offloaded servers and firewalls, automatically blocked attacks, and delivered 99.99% network availability, ensuring uninterrupted, secure access for students and staff.
