This collaboration strategically positions Radware in Germany's Karlsruhe Technology Region, a prime European innovation hub, while addressing critical market demands.

The implementation of DefensePro X demonstrates several key competitive advantages: First, the AI-powered behavioral algorithms provide automated, adaptive protection against sophisticated threats, including the emerging Web DDoS Tsunami attacks - a important differentiator in the current threat landscape. Second, the integration with Radware's Cyber Controller platform offers comprehensive security orchestration, positioning TelemaxX to efficiently scale its security services.

From a market perspective, this deployment is particularly significant as it aligns with the European Union's stringent data protection requirements and the growing demand for robust cybersecurity solutions in the region's data center market.

The timing of this expansion is strategic, coinciding with the increasing sophistication of DDoS attacks and the growing need for AI-driven security solutions in managed service offerings. This positions Radware to capture a larger share of the European cybersecurity market, particularly in the managed security services segment where automated, scalable solutions are increasingly critical for service providers.
