Case Study: a leading financial services firm secures customer experience with Radware DefensePro

A Top Five United States Financial Services Firm Secures the Customer Experience

A leading U.S. financial services firm was experiencing increased network downtime due to nonvolumetric and encrypted DDoS attacks that its existing cloud-based mitigation service could not stop. This forced the bank to rely on "black-holing" traffic, which inadvertently blocked legitimate users and transactions. The firm needed an on-premise solution from a vendor like Radware to supplement its defenses without adding latency.

The bank implemented Radware's on-premise DefensePro appliance, which features machine-learning for behavioral detection and automated signature creation to mitigate threats in real time. The solution included Radware's SSL attack mitigation to handle encrypted floods. As a result, the firm stopped the attacks and improved overall network availability without impacting legitimate traffic or compromising user privacy.
