MAHWAH, New Jersey, February 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware, the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, announced today that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a world leading publication on technologies and solutions, has named Radware's DefensePro x20 series as a finalist for the 2009 Global Product Excellence Customer Trust Awards in two categories including Integrated Security Solution (Hardware) and Intrusion Prevention Solution (IPS).

DefensePro is the industry's first security solution to offer adaptive, behavior-based protection at client, application and network levels. The advanced solution identifies and mitigates a wide range of threats, including non-vulnerability threats and zero-day attacks, by automatically generating real-time signatures.

"More than ever businesses need advanced solutions that ensure protection from increasingly complex network security vulnerabilities," said Avi Chesla, Vice President, Security Products, Radware. "Being named as a finalist in two categories for a prestigious industry award further affirms Radware's commitment to offer the most advanced security products that enable business-smart networking."

As a security solution for medium and large enterprises, DefensePro is well-suited for companies that rely on secure, online transactions for the confidential conduct of their business. Additionally, the "pay-as-you-grow" feature provides businesses with flexibility and ease of management through 'hands-off' security features such as no-configuration and self-tuning.

DefensePro is part of Radware's APSolute Immunity security initiative to maintain business continuity by protecting application infrastructures against existing and emerging threats which cannot be detected using traditional IPS. DefensePro incorporates vulnerability-based IPS features with adaptive behavioral-based IPS that support automatic real-time attack signature generation. This enables critical application availability when under non vulnerability-based or zero-minute attack by blocking attack traffic without blocking legitimate user traffic.

This annual award recognizes products and services that acknowledge the changing needs and interests of end-users of information security technology worldwide. As such, this award encourages customers to voice their opinions, and vote online for solutions that drive product excellence and long-term trust. Voting is currently taking place through February 11, 2009.
