DDoS Protection
The idea of an DDoS attack is simple: the attacker is trying to “overwhelm” the service (application servers, infrastructure, etc.). Lately, however, we have experienced a significant increase in these attacks. There is an increasing frequency of these attacks, in addition to their duration (globally, there even are users under permanent attack) and complexity (attacks are thoroughly prepared, often combining more than five different ways). The number of different goals is also increasing. We can say that these days virtually any company or a market segment can become a victim.
Impacts on customers
- Service unavailability, or at least service slowdown
- Direct financial loss (namely for online services)
- Loss of goodwill / trust and consequent loss of customers
Solution advantages
- Detection and blocking of all possible attacks (at either networks or applications, encrypted / SSL, volumetric, both known and unknown).
- Instant and automatic response. Detection and blocking in a matter of seconds, regardless of attack type.
- High performance and hardware acceleration. Protection for the whole infrastructure, including the firewall, IPS, ADC, servers, etc.
- Operation cleaning, not only blocking based on IP addresses that can be “false”.
- Traffic visualization from the security perspective, availability of reporting functions.
- Ability to contact the manufacturer’s ERT (Emergency Response Team) during the attack.
We need to realize that traditional security products (such as firewalls, IPS, next-generation firewalls, etc.) will not protect us from this type of risk. It’s not that they are bad – they are just designed for different types of security risks. From the perspective of security products, it is interesting that the customer can recognize whether DDoS protection works or not almost immediately. If DDoS protection does not work, the service is unavailable almost immediately. For customers that must be online, a specialized DDoS solution is the only logical choice.
Product DefensePro combines multiple technologies (NBA Syn protection, IPS, IP Reputation, SSL mitigation) with the option at any time to contact the Radware ERT (Emergency Response Team).
