What is Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service
Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is a managed, cloud-based service designed to detect and mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against internet-facing applications and network infrastructure. It is typically used by security and network teams to protect web applications, APIs, and public IP services from volumetric and protocol-based attacks. The service combines always-on or on-demand traffic scrubbing with monitoring and response workflows delivered as a subscription. It is commonly deployed alongside existing edge, CDN, and application security controls rather than replacing them.
Managed DDoS mitigation operations
The service includes operational support for attack detection, mitigation, and incident handling, which can reduce the burden on internal teams during high-pressure events. This model fits organizations that do not want to staff 24/7 DDoS specialists. It also supports standardized runbooks and escalation paths that are difficult to maintain with self-managed tooling alone.
Cloud scrubbing for large attacks
Cloud-based scrubbing is designed to absorb and filter high-volume attacks before traffic reaches customer networks. This approach is useful when on-premises capacity is insufficient for volumetric events. It also enables protection for multiple sites and IP ranges without requiring hardware deployment at each location.
Flexible deployment modes
The service is commonly offered in always-on and on-demand modes, allowing organizations to balance latency, cost, and risk tolerance. It can be integrated using routing/DNS changes and works with hybrid environments that include data centers and public cloud. This flexibility helps teams align DDoS controls with existing network architecture and change-management constraints.
Potential latency and routing complexity
Traffic diversion to a scrubbing network can introduce additional hops and may increase latency compared with direct routing. Always-on deployments can require more involved network design and testing to avoid asymmetric routing or failover issues. On-demand models can require careful readiness planning to ensure diversion can be activated quickly when needed.
Less comprehensive app security
While DDoS protection can overlap with web security, organizations often still need separate controls for application-layer threats such as OWASP Top 10 issues, bot management, and API abuse. Teams may need to integrate additional web application firewall and edge security capabilities depending on requirements. This can increase operational complexity across multiple security layers.
Cost and contract considerations
Cloud DDoS services are typically priced based on protected capacity, traffic profiles, and service levels, which can be difficult to forecast for variable workloads. Some organizations may find that higher service tiers are needed to meet response-time or reporting requirements. Procurement can also involve longer-term commitments compared with purely self-managed alternatives.
Plan & Pricing
| Plan | Price | Key features & notes |
|---|---|---|
| On-Demand Cloud DDoS Protection Service | Custom pricing — contact sales | Activated only when attacks threaten to saturate the Internet pipe; traffic diverted to cloud upon volumetric attacks; includes ERT Standard Service; recommended for lowest cost option. |
| Always-On Cloud DDoS Protection Service | Custom pricing — contact sales | Traffic continuously routed through Radware scrubbing centers; fully-managed, lowest time-to-protection; recommended for cloud-hosted applications or when on‑prem device cannot be deployed. |
| Hybrid Cloud DDoS Protection Service | Custom pricing — contact sales | Integrates on‑premise device with cloud protection for real‑time sharing of baselines and attack footprints; minimal peacetime latency. |
| Add-ons (Cloud Web DDoS Protection, Firewall-as-a-Service, Network Analytics) | Custom pricing — contact sales | Optional layers for L7 (web) protection, cloud FWaaS, and detailed network analytics; priced separately as add‑ons. |
