Spark, one of New Zealand’s largest digital service providers, has partnered with Radware, a cybersecurity solutions provider, to offer enhanced network security services and applications in New Zealand.
Spark will resell Radware’s application and network security solutions, including Radware’s Cloud Application Protection Services, Cloud DDoS Protection Service and DefensePro DDoS Protection. Additionally, Spark will add Radware’s Cloud DDoS Protection Service to its existing cybersecurity system to further detect and mitigate DDoS attacks.
Patric Balmer, managed security service provider lead at Spark, emphasized the significance of having resilient and efficient cybersecurity measures in place, stating: “We know cybersecurity is increasingly critical and can be complex as many organizations in New Zealand continue to face challenges in effectively detecting and responding to threats due to their growing complexity and the resource shortages in the cybersecurity industry. Radware’s security solutions combined with Spark's managed security services offer continuous access to cutting-edge expertise and technology, all while ensuring adherence to the highest security best practices and compliance standards.”
Radware opened a new cloud and security service center in Auckland in January 2023 to provide for customers in New Zealand and across the Asia Pacific. Currently, the company’s network is composed of more than 50 security centers with an attack mitigation capacity of up to 12 Tbps. The network is also capable of absorbing large volumes of attacks.
“We are proud to partner with Spark to provide its customers with access to a rich portfolio of application and network security services. Our new partnership with Spark is designed to deliver the ultimate scalability, flexibility and reliability that today’s organizations demand from their cyber protection,” said Yaniv Hoffman, Radware’s vice president of APAC sales.
