Cyber security company Radware has announced the launch of its new cloud security centres in areas such as Auckland, Melbourne and Toronto, bringing more of its cyber security and application delivery solutions to the regions. 

“We continue to invest in cloud security, expanding our global mitigation capacity and regional growth opportunities,” said Haim Zelikovsky, vice president of cloud security services for Radware.  

“The recent enhancements we’ve made add to our already strong cloud presence and frictionless, state-of-the-art security experience.”

According to Inside Government NZ, Radware’s new centres reduce traffic latency and increase service redundancy and mitigation capacity.  

This will help the company’s customers defend themselves against denial-of-service attacks, web application attacks, malicious bot traffic, and attacks on APIs. 

The new cloud security centres will also help them increase resiliency and comply with offshore data routing requirements. 

“The launch of the new security centers is part of Radware’s global cloud backbone and reinforces our commitment to prioritize security for customers not only in Australia and New Zealand, but also across the broader region,” Radware ANZ Regional Director Graeme Pyper said. 

“Ramping up our presence will enable customers to address security issues at their source and mitigate large volumetric cyberattacks more quickly.” 

Radware has also recently launched its new security centres in Chile, Italy, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates. This allows Radware to extend its mitigation capacity to 12Tbps across a network that is made up of more than 50 security centers worldwide.

Radware is able to increase its footprint by establishing new centres across the globe, greatly mitigating cyber attacks by their closest point of origin. This allows the company to provide a truly global mitigation capable of absorbing even the largest volumetric attacks. 

According to Radware’s Q3 2022 DDoS and Application Threat Analysis, the number of malicious DDoS events climbed 279% and 84% more web application attacks were mitigated compared to the same period in 2021.
