Radware launches new cloud security centre in the UAE

Radware, a provider of cybersecurity and application delivery solutions, has announced the launch of a new cloud security centre in the UAE.

Located in Dubai, the facility will reduce latency for in-region traffic and offer customers faster mitigation response times against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, web application attacks, malicious bot traffic and attacks on APIs. It will also mitigate compliance processes involved in offshore routing.

“As part of our strategic cloud services initiative, we continue to accelerate cloud innovation to provide our customers with the highest level of cybersecurity services,” said Haim Zelikovsky, vice president of Cloud Security Services for Radware. “This includes increasing the fighting capacity of our cloud infrastructure to help our customers manage the increasing complexity and sheer volume of cyberattacks with as little disruption as possible.”

According to Radware’s First Half 2022 Global Threat Analysis Report, the first six months of the year saw a dramatic increase in cyberattacks across the globe. The number of DDoS attacks climbed 203 per cent and malicious web application transactions grew by 38 per cent compared to the same period last year.

“The new site in Dubai fills a growing demand for a local security presence that can deliver rapid response times with accuracy for organisations in the public and private sector,” said Nikhil Karan Taneja, Radware’s vice president and managing director for India, Middle East, and South Asia.
