In today’s dynamic threat landscape, the proliferation of diverse attack vectors underscores the critical necessity for robust cybersecurity measures. While network (volumetric) attacks persist, the ascendancy of application-targeting attacks poses a formidable challenge.
In 2021, Radware teamed up with Internet2 as an industry member to provide customized on-demand cloud DDoS mitigation service for regional and state research and education network providers across the U.S. Early adopters of this service include CENIC, operator of California’s R&E network, and the University of Minnesota-operated Northern Lights Gigapop, a connectivity hub for Minnesota and the broader region.
More recently, Radware became a participant in the Internet2 Cloud Scorecard, providing relevant details aligned with community standards about Radware Application Protection Services — a single solution for comprehensive WAF, bot management, API protection, client-side protection, and application DDoS protection.
While DDoS attacks experienced by educational institutions and R&E networks across the community are on the rise, they represent one dimension of a strong cybersecurity posture. Presenters from CENIC, the University of Minnesota, and Radware shared insights into their holistic and adaptive security approach to evolving cyber threats.
