Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, announced the launch of a new cloud security service center in Paris, France. The launch of the new facility extends Radware’s DDoS attack mitigation capacity to 15Tbps across a network of more than 50 cloud security service centers worldwide.
“Expanding our network of cloud security service centers is part of a strategic move to advance our global defense infrastructure and our customers’ security experience,” said Michael Techer, Radware’s regional director in France. “The new facility in France will help customers increase resiliency and comply with local data privacy requirements. It will also reduce traffic latency as well as increase service redundancy and mitigation capacity to help our customers defend against even the largest volumetric denial-of-service attacks.”
According to Radware’s recent Global Threat Analysis Report, the number of malicious DDoS attacks rose 94% worldwide between 2022 and 2023. In the EMEA region in 2023, finance was the most attacked industry, accounting for 41% of attacks followed by technology organizations (18%) and government institutions (15%). In keeping with global trends, hacktivist activity is also surging. In France alone during the first quarter of 2024, hacktivist claimed DDoS attacks increased 185% compared to the same period in 2023.
“Unprecedented cybersecurity challenges are expected to continue as hackers gear up for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Given the current geo-political backdrop to the event, we are anticipating a surge in cyber-attacks,” said David Aviv, Radware’s chief technology officer. “It’s critical for organizations, including those in adjacent markets, to act early and put advanced security mechanisms in place. Our new facility in France is tuned to help customers reduce their risks and protect their businesses.”
