Introducing DefensePro
Radware’s award-wining DefensePro™ is a real-time Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and DoS-
protection device, which maintains business continuity by protecting the application infrastructure
against existing and emerging network-based threats that cannot be detected by traditional IPSs
such as: network- and application-resource misuse, malware spreading, authentication defeat and
information theft.
DefensePro features full protection from traditional vulnerability-based attacks through proactive
signature updates, preventing the already known attacks, including worms, trojans, bots, SSL-based
attacks, and VoIP attacks.
Unlike market alternatives that rely on static signatures, DefensePro provides unique behavioral-
based, automatically generated, real-time signatures, preventing non-vulnerability–based attacks
and zero-minute attacks such as: network and application floods, HTTP page floods, malware
propagation, Web application hacking, brute force attacks aiming to defeat authentication schemes,
and more—all without blocking legitimate users’ traffic and with no need for human intervention.
With multiple-segment protection in a single unit, a pay-as-you-grow license-upgrade approach, and
ease of management through “hands-off” security features such as no-configuration and self-tuning,
DefensePro is the industry’s leading IPS for best functionality, maximum affordability, and ease of
management.
DefensePro System Components
Radware DefensePro is an in-line Intrusion Prevention and Denial-of-Service protection system that
detects and prevents network threats in real-time. DefensePro inspects incoming and outgoing
traffic for potential attacks, clearing the network from unwanted malicious traffic. DefensePro also
manages bandwidth and establishes traffic shaping rules.
