MAHWAH, N.J., Dec. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radware ® (NASDAQ: RDWR ), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions ensuring optimal service levels for applications in virtual, cloud, and software-defined data centers, announced that XO Communications (XO),  a leading enterprise ISP, has launched a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation Service as part of its Security Services product portfolio, based on  Radware’s  Attack Mitigation System .

Headquartered in Herndon, Va., XO owns and operates one of the largest, high-quality IP and Ethernet networks that customers rely on for their domestic and international communications. According to XO, customers choose XO Communications because of the quality and reach of its network, the breadth of its innovative products and services, and the personalized, consultative approach it employs to support customer needs.
