Security

The DDoS Attack Protection service secures your connections from large-scale volumetric attacks.

Definition

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is a distributed attack against a computer system or network service preventing its proper operation by taking up all available resources.

Service description:

Due to the nature of DDoS attacks, classic defence measures are incapable of differentiating between them and regular network traffic. As a result, security systems such as NGFW or IPS offer no protection, which is why it is recommended to use specialised mechanisms implemented as far away as possible from the point where your LAN meets the outside world.

We offer an advanced DDoS protection service which secures your connections from large-scale volumetric attacks by filtering out traffic which bears resemblance to a DDoS attack. The DDoS Attack Protection service is offered as an addition to our service as an ISP.

How it works:

  • 24/7 monitoring – Our Security Operation Centre operators monitor in real time the traffic entering the protected system, analysing all anomalies and blacklisted signatures.
  • Response – When a DDoS attack occurs, it is identified by our monitoring system and information about it is instantly relayed to the SOC operators. Depending on the specific provisions of your SLA, the mitigation mechanisms are engaged either automatically or in consultation with you. Our operators analyse and classify the incident, before contacting you to relay information about the attack.
  • Mitigation – The mitigation process involves the engagement of mechanisms which redirect all traffic to a mitigation centre located in our network, which utilises special algorithms to selectively filter the traffic and redirect it back to your network.
  • Mitigation completion – in order to ensure the highest quality of service, the mitigation measures are deactivated after a prior discussion with you.

Benefits:

  • The service is available in standard and premium versions.
  • Unlimited mitigation of singular DoS/DDoS attacks.
  • Automated, proactive 24/7 monitoring of your incoming traffic, with 24/7 support from our Security Operations Centre operators.
  • Response and mitigation time guaranteed by an SLA.
  • Selective mitigation of DDoS attacks thanks to our proprietary network solutions.
  • A specialised team of operators equipped with the best mitigation technologies available on the market.
