Question

Accepted Answer

Iomart DDoS Protection Iomart’s advanced DDoS protection, provisioned as a service at the network edge, matches the sophistication and scale of the latest cyber threats and can be used to mitigate DDoS attacks of all forms and sizes. We’ve partnered with Arbor Networks , one of the world’s leading providers of DDoS protection technology, to offer tiered levels of DDoS protection and ensure we have the right solution - at the right price - to suit any size of the organisation. Key Features   Increased Network Visibility, Stronger Security, Improved Services The Arbor solution provides comprehensive network visibility and reporting capabilities that enable iomart to detect and understand threats as they appear on our network and take steps to combat them. Comprehensive DDoS Detection and Analysis Combines pervasive, cost-effective visibility with real-time reporting of critical network traffic, services and applications to proactively protect against DDoS attacks. Application Layer Intelligence and Protection Our DDoS solution provides the application-layer intelligence necessary to secure and manage critical business applications such as voice, data, messaging, file sharing, Web, email and more against advanced threats. Anomaly Detection A core value of the solution is the ability to generate alerts to anomalies on the network. These anomalies can be indicative of malicious traffic (DDoS), device failures, unusual demand spikes or misconfigurations. These alerts enable problems to be spotted quickly, the root causes rapidly identified and corrective action is taken. Denial of Service Protection The iomart solution, powered by Arbor Networks, mitigates DDoS attacks by surgically removing malicious attack traffic while allowing normal legitimate traffic to pass through and reach your site. When potential threats are detected, traffic is redirected through the Arbor solution, stripping out the harmful attack traffic and allowing only legitimate traffic to reach the intended destination.   Who could benefit from DDoS Protection? Sites with the ability to purchase goods/services online Gaming sites High profile organisations Government/Government agencies Sites with high internet traffic Any organisation with a web presence can benefit from DDoS protection. We hope our customer sites are never targeted by cyber-criminals, but if they are, the DDoS Protection Solution from iomart will provide a robust and effective defence.
