Telstra International Launches Global DDoS Protection
LONDON, December 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Service filters traffic on customer Internet connections to Telstra
International's global IP backbone to mitigate the impact of distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attacks
Telstra International, a leading global supplier of managed network and hosted
services, today launched its Global Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection
solution. This new service provides added protection to multinational customers'
Internet-facing infrastructure against a wide range of DDoS attacks.
The service offers 'in the cloud' protection and mitigation of DDoS attack traffic,
averting congestion of customer Internet connections and protecting customer web
infrastructure, whilst legitimate, clean traffic is delivered to the customer.
Telstra International's Director of Portfolio and Marketing, Mr Nathan Bell said most
global organisations today are reliant on constant online availability and Telstra
International's Global DDoS Protection solution helps businesses to avoid disruption and
mitigate unexpected costs through a highly resilient protection service."
"DDoS attacks have increased tenfold since 2005. As they have also become increasingly
targeted, security has rapidly become a boardroom issue," said Mr Bell. "A cloud based
DDoS service is now amongst the best ways to protect your Internet-facing web sites
against malicious attacks and Telstra can integrate these seamlessly with customers' IT
systems, with expert support and experience close at hand."
The service makes it easy and cost-effective for the customer to implement DDoS
protection and is capable of mitigating the latest DDoS threats, with Telstra's Security
Operations Centre (SOC) systems and staff offering around-the-clock 24/7 monitoring,
extensive analysis and highly effective mitigation and traffic cleaning through global
cleaning centres. It also offers Telstra customers near real-time visibility to traffic
and service status information via a web-based reporting portal.
"As a best of breed and fully integrated service, our Global DDoS Protection service
highlights our extensive experience in managing security for global businesses," comments
Mr. Bell. "It offers peace of mind to enterprises, with our global operations mitigating
DDoS risks, and in many cases, without the customer having ever realised a threat
existed."
