Radware represents a significant Israeli B2B technology target in the enterprise cybersecurity market. Founded in 1997 with dual headquarters in Tel Aviv and New Jersey, the company provides DDoS protection, application security, and bot management to enterprises globally. Its September 2025 expansion of cloud security infrastructure in Israel demonstrates continued direct economic investment in the Israeli economy during the period under ICJ investigation.
Key Leverage Points
- Israeli Headquarters: Direct economic contribution to Israel through employment, taxes, and infrastructure investment
- Recent Israeli Expansion: September 2025 opening of second Tel Aviv cloud centre shows ongoing commitment during human rights abuses
- Clear Alternatives: Cloudflare, Akamai, and Imperva offer equivalent or superior DDoS and application security without Israeli headquarters
- Public Company: NASDAQ listing enables shareholder engagement and ESG investor pressure campaigns
Evidence Summary
Radware's complicity stems from its status as an Israeli-headquartered company directly contributing to the Israeli economy through operations, employment, and tax revenue. Unlike defence contractors, Radware does not directly supply military technology, but its economic contribution supports the Israeli state apparatus. The company's continued expansion in Israel, including the September 2025 Tel Aviv cloud centre, demonstrates corporate commitment to Israeli operations despite international pressure. SEC filings confirm the company's dual headquarters structure and Israeli incorporation.
Engagement Strategy
Target enterprise procurement decisions by highlighting Israeli headquarters and the availability of equivalent security services from US-headquartered alternatives like Cloudflare, Akamai, and Imperva. Engage institutional investors on ESG implications of direct economic support to Israel during documented human rights violations. Focus on financial services, government, and critical infrastructure sectors where procurement teams have formal supplier review processes. Emphasise that migration paths exist to comparable services without supporting the Israeli economy.
