DDoS attacks have become a commodity. Thanks to the availability of DDoS-as-a-Service tools on the Darknet, the increased vulnerability of IoT devices and the resulting rise of botnets, and financially-motivated hackers launching ransomware campaigns, DDoS assaults have never been as common, powerful or profitable. Therefore, DDoS protection & mitigation solutions have never been more important.

Preparing for DDoS attacks

DDoS attacks have changed tremendously over the past few years. Preparing for a common DDoS attack is no longer enough. With the growing online availability of attack tools and services, the pool of possible attacks is larger than ever before.

DDoS attack mitigation solutions work by deflecting DDoS traffic in one of the outer layers – the network layer. This helps to absorb any potential application layer DDoS traffic at the network edge. The threat can be prevented in the cloud before it reaches the customer origin.

Our DDoS mitigation solution works by applying web protection with an intelligent platform. This platform has more than 27,000 servers in 32 countries and is aided by a Web Application Firewall. This provides additional protection against deeper level application layer attacks in both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

By having a platform which detects attacks at the application layer, enterprises can scale their protection to meet their needs in line with their own business growth. This helps to reduce costs associated with web security without having a negative impact on web performance.

With our DDoS mitigation solution, enterprises can …

• … reduce downtime and minimize business risk.
• … deflect and absorb even the largest DDoS attacks.
• … minimize costs associated with web security.
• … protect against new and evolving threats.
• … reduce the risk of data theft.

Take advantage of our exceptional DDoS protection solution and protect your business today from the increasingly frequent and dangerous DDoS attacks.

While the most serious malware attacks are targeted against a specific organization, and the hardest to defend against, hackers today cast an extremely wide net that attempts to infect everyone, and based on this large volume, provides significant financial gain as malware indiscriminately infects consumers and businesses alike. Therefore, without a suitable malware protection system, not relying on a single software program, it is only a matter of time before a business suffers significant financial loss.

Antivirus and intrusion prevention systems are designed to inspect traffic at every point of entry in your extended network, but cannot detect all of the potential threats and risks attempting to make their way into your system. In addition, they provide barely any visibility into the activity of these threats after they have invaded your first-line defense. Unfortunately, this leaves your IT team blind to the scope of the potential damage and are unable to detect malware quickly enough to prevent it from wreaking havoc.

The real security challenge

You are already working in the cloud, thinking about moving to the cloud or curious about the security controls in specific cloud environments. However, you know that the real security challenge with cloud computing is the loss of control and how to validate and measure controls for visibility and attribution. Let us help you tackle that challenge.

Our services range from generic multi-cloud models, technical cloud policies towards defining and implementing actual security controls within your cloud environment. We have experience with major cloud service providers such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Based on the security controls provided by these providers we developed the following services to enable security in your cloud.

1. Secure Access Management

Depending on your needs and requirements, our cloud security experts can provide you a tailored setup towards adaptive security controls. These conditional access policies are context aware and allow you to define different risk levels and enforce the correct security controls.

2. Secure Design

We can assist you with a design review or designing a new environment based on industry best practices. This includes the usage of software defined networking within your infrastructure, mitigation components between trusted and untrusted networks to ensure that trusted systems are not exposed. Increase visibility within the cloud to detect security incidents in real time.

3. Cloud Security Monitoring

We have designed a security monitoring framework that allows you to use best of breed monitoring services. We will define the threats for your organization and specify the logs that are needed to detect these types of threats.
