The new scrubbing facility in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, complements Radware’s existing scrubbing centers worldwide. Radware’s 14 scrubbing centers are globally connected in full mesh mode using Anycast-based routing to allow mitigating DDoS attacks closest to their points of origin, and helping companies keep data within their borders.

Radware recently completed a major upgrade to all its existing scrubbing centers with the deployment of clusters of its DefensePro attack mitigation devices, equipped with Radware’s latest cyber security algorithms with unique attack mitigation capabilities. Radware’s latest DefensePro technology analyzes traffic patterns, such as sudden and massive spikes, to provide automated, behavior-based protection from fast moving, high volume, encrypted or very short duration DDoS attacks. This includes burst DDoS attacks, attacks on DNS infrastructure, and encrypted DDoS attacks.

Radware backs up these technological advancements with service excellence and dedication, including its Emergency Response Team, which has been successfully mitigating thousands of large-scale DDoS attacks annually.
