Motivation Works Case Study on Radware Cloud WAF Implementation

This case study details the implementation of Radware's Cloud WAF service by Motivation Works, a partner in the Cisco ecosystem, to secure its cloud-based school administration support system, BLEND. Launched in 2018, BLEND has been adopted by over 550 schools in Japan and offers various services including attendance and report management. The study outlines the challenges faced due to an increase in sophisticated Web DDoS attacks, which threatened the availability of educational services. Traditional WAF solutions proved inadequate as they often blocked legitimate traffic. The case study describes how Radware's Emergency Response Team was engaged to provide a tailored solution that effectively mitigated DDoS attacks while maintaining service availability. The report highlights the comprehensive protection features of Radware's Cloud WAF, including advanced behavior-based algorithms and 24/7 support from the Emergency Response Team, which were crucial in ensuring the security and reliability of BLEND's operations.
