Is user-friendly, helps save time, and has good end-to-end API protectionThe effectiveness of Radware Cloud WAF Service in blocking unknown threats and attacks depends on the situation. Usually, when we deploy applications, we have everything planned in advance. In this case, we can simply log in to the portal and configure the WAF. However, if we are dealing with a repeated case or if we need to update a certificate, we can use automation to make the changes. In most cases, we do not need to make any changes to the WAF configuration. For example, if we need to block a specific IP address, we can create a template and apply it to all of our web applications. This allows us to use WAF for both web applications and API code. Radware Cloud WAF Service's automated analytics for looking at events is good. We actually had something similar before, but this service gives us a better understanding of how we use WAF for different products. For example, DDoS protection is also included. This allows me to analyze which users are coming from which locations, what my status is, and if I have a SQL injection or something similar. There are a lot of features, so I definitely know my application better and can identify any security events that are happening on my web or application. The end-to-end API protection offered by Radware Cloud WAF Service's API discovery feature is a good tool. However, it can only be effective if we understand the WAF portal concept and know what the tool does. Before we use the tool, we should read its documentation. Radware also has a universal university where we can learn more about how Radware works in a web application. This is helpful because different vendors have different ways of using the same application. I have been part of this learning experience and found it to be very helpful. API Discovery is easy to use for those who are familiar with WAFs and APIs. However, we need to use a document to configure it, which is not a big deal. Using Radware CDN services and Cloud WAF together is easy. However, it requires coordination between two different teams. The security team is responsible for CDN, while the development team is responsible for the application. If these teams communicate effectively, it is very easy to use the combined services. Even if the development team does not have experience with CDN, it is not difficult to learn. I have been part of both teams, and I can confirm that using Radware CDN services and Cloud WAF together is easy. Radware Cloud WAF Service is user-friendly. It provides us with what we need and tells us where to click. Even if we are new to using it, we will not get lost or confused. Once we log in, we can simply click through the steps and understand what is happening. The application is easy to configure and does not require highly technical knowledge. Radware Cloud WAF Service helped reduce the overhead on one team. In a previous product preview event, only two teams were configuring everything for the project team. However, now even the user developer can develop applications. They develop the application, put their endpoint, and go to Radware to create everything. The system management and network teams are no longer involved. This reduced the dependency on a team by 70 percent. Additionally, any individual team can now configure and use the service. Radware Cloud WAF Service helped reduce our TCO by ten percent. We noticed the time to value within two months of using Radware Cloud WAF Service.
