Radware launches new cloud security center in the UAE

Radware, a provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, has announced the establishment of a new cloud security center in the UAE. The facility, which is located in Dubai, will reduce latency for in-region traffic and provide customers with faster mitigation response times against denial-of-service attacks, web application attacks, malicious bot traffic, and API attacks. It will also reduce the compliance processes associated with offshore routing.

Radware’s existing cloud security network will be supplemented by the Dubai addition. Today, the network has over 10Tbps of mitigation capacity spread across more than 50 security centers around the world. 

“As part of our strategic cloud services initiative, we continue to accelerate cloud innovation to provide our customers with the highest level of cyber security 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, cyberattacks across the globe increased dramatically in the first six months of 2022. DDoS attacks increased 203% and malicious web application transactions increased 38% 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 organizations in the public and private sector,” said Nikhil Karan Taneja, Radware’s vice president and managing director for India, the Middle East, and South Asia. “The launch of the center underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering state-of-the-art cyber protection and scaling our capacity in a way that will benefit the whole region.”
