DDoS protection was the critical feature we wanted when we decided to go with Radware. The company faced many DDoS attacks at the time, and we didn't have a solution. It's not the only reason we chose Cloud WAF. We do use it for other use cases. Cloud WAF's interface is easy to use and protects us from OWASP Top Ten threats. Our dev team do QA checks on applications before they go live, but Cloud WAF creates an additional security layer on our website. The solution protects against multiple threat types. We see SQL injection attacks and DDoS probes constantly. Attackers attempt multiple queries and enumeration attacks against our applications. We previously had a basic firewall with an IPS feature set, but it wasn't providing the same level of protection we get from the WAF. CloudWAF matches things automatically and identifies any threats. It seems to be doing its job. We sometimes have strange code-related behavior. When our developers write some poorly written code, it generates events in Cloud WAF. It's generally effective at detecting. We had an issue with a misconfigured rule where it blocked legitimate traffic. Overall, we haven't had many issues with it in the last three years. We leave it alone.
