Radware doubles DDoS cloud capacity to 30 Tbps

Radware has doubled the attack mitigation capacity of its global cloud security service network, expanding from 15 Tbps to 30 Tbps as large-scale distributed denial-of-service attacks increase in volume and complexity.

The Israel-based cyber security company said the upgrade covers its entire network of cloud security centres. The centres now incorporate the latest generation of its DefencePro X DDoS mitigation platform.

The expansion comes amid a sharp rise in attack activity. According to Radware’s H1 Global Threat Analysis, the company recorded an 85% increase in network DDoS attacks in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.

Radware said the new capacity targets both large volumetric attacks and complex multi-vector campaigns. The company said recent campaigns increasingly combine network floods with application-layer techniques.

The DefencePro X platform underpins the enlarged mitigation network. Radware said the system focuses on precision automation and faster response during high-intensity incidents.

Roy Zisapel, President and CEO at Radware, said the rise in attack sophistication is reshaping the threat environment.

“The global threat landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Attackers are leveraging AI-driven tools, automation, and increasingly sophisticated botnets to launch massive, complex, highly disruptive, multi-vector DDoS campaigns that are harder to detect and mitigate,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware president and CEO. “To help enterprises counter these rapidly evolving vulnerabilities, Radware has upgraded all cloud security centers to include DefencePro X, its best-in-class mitigation backbone, to support 30 Tbps of attack traffic, designed to provide enhanced resilience against the largest-known DDoS campaigns.”

The company said modern attacks are no longer limited to high bandwidth volumes. It said attackers more often target the application layer with high-requests-per-second assaults such as HTTPS floods.

Radware said its AI-based web DDoS protection is now in use across its global cloud security network. The system focuses on detection and mitigation of HTTPS flood attacks that can exceed 50 million requests per second.

The company said the protection aims to avoid blocking legitimate traffic during a mitigation event. It said customers seek to contain large floods without disrupting normal user access.

Radware said its cloud security centres mitigate attacks as close as possible to their point of origin. It said this approach can improve application response times for in-region traffic and reduce the time between detection and mitigation.

The company said the same infrastructure addresses a broad set of threats. These include DDoS attacks, web application attacks, malicious bot activity and API abuse.

Radware said its distributed footprint also supports compliance with data residency requirements in various jurisdictions. Organisations increasingly face constraints on where traffic data can be processed and stored.

In 2025 Radware expanded its physical presence with new cloud security service centres in Bogotá in Colombia and Lima in Peru. It opened further sites in Mumbai in India and Singapore, and added a second centre in Tel Aviv.

With the latest additions, the company’s global cloud security network now consists of 65 centres. The network delivers localised mitigation for customers in multiple regions.

The company said the broader footprint responds to rising demand from enterprises and carriers that run applications across multi-cloud environments. Customers seek consistent protection across both infrastructure and application layers.

Radware positions itself in the DDoS segment against major network and security providers. The firm said it has collected a series of industry awards for DDoS mitigation over recent years.

Industry analyst groups have also recognised the vendor. Radware said G2, Peerspot and QKS Group identify the company as a market leader in DDoS protection based on customer reviews, satisfaction scores and market presence.

Radware said customers increasingly combine infrastructure protection with web application and API security. The company operates in sectors such as telecoms, online services, financial services and public sector bodies.

The company said it continues to invest in AI-based detection for both network and application-layer attacks. It expects further growth in complex multi-vector DDoS campaigns that blend volumetric, protocol and application techniques.
