Red Button: The DDoS Experts Who Wrote the Resilience Standard
Our Mission: Replace Assumptions with Verified Resilience
Red Button’s mission is to eliminate the uncertainty of cyber attacks by providing realistic DDoS simulations and hardening strategies.
That mission comes from a pattern the company’s founder kept seeing.
Before starting Red Button, Ziv Gadot spent 11 years at Radware, where he founded and led its 24/7 Emergency Response Team and handled hundreds of live DDoS incidents. In emergency after emergency, the failures that surfaced mid-attack were ones that could have been found earlier, in a controlled test, by someone deliberately looking for them.
That is the work Red Button does. We help organizations understand how their defenses behave under realistic attack conditions, identify the weaknesses that matter most, and verify that remediation holds – before an attacker asks the question for them.
The objective is not to produce findings. It is to give security teams evidence they can act on.

The Values That Drive the Defense

Total Transparency
Customers receive full disclosure of the attack details, the vulnerabilities uncovered, and the remediation steps required to close them.
Absolute Integrity
Our specialists say where Red Button is the right fit and where it is not, and pursue the comprehensive solution rather than the convenient one.
