DDoS Mitigation
Even with the best mitigation system installed, DDoS attacks still manage to cause damage.
DDoS Mitigation And Causes Of Downtime
There are thousands of potential DDoS vulnerabilities that can be exploited in any IT infrastructure. Collectively these vulnerabilities are referred to as “DDoS mitigation gaps”.
Enterprises have the challenging task of protecting their online presence from sudden,
malicious, and sophisticated DDoS attacks. However, production environments are
continuously changing and the DDoS mitigation gap expands based on the following factors:
Adding/removing
services
Updating DDoS
mitigation policies
New and improved
DDoS attack vectors
DDoS Mitigation Postures
DDoS mitigation services include:
- Scrubbing Center (BGP)
- Content Delivery Network (CDN)
- Vendor Appliances (CPE Equipment)
- Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion
- Prevention System (IPS)
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Effective DDoS Mitigation - An Expensive Myth
DDoS mitigation technology only works if its perfectly configured to the underlying network its protecting.
Often on-going changes in your networks impact the DDoS mitigation configurations adversely and open DDoS vulnerabilities through which DDoS attacks can penetrate. As DDoS mitigation service providers don’t continuously re-configure and fine-tune their DDoS mitigation policies DDoS protection becomes limited.
RADAR™ Risk-Based DDoS Approach
Detect –
all DDoS vulnerabilities in a company’s DDoS mitigation posture.
Generate Real-time Reports of All Open Vulnerabilities –
through on going DDoS simulations on your live environment ( with no downtime).
Alert on Critical DDoS Vulnerabilities –
reports highlight the most important DDoS vulnerabilities in your DDoS mitigation service provider’s apparatus and architecture.
Consult –
the DDoS mitigation service provider to remediate identified vulnerabilities.
Revalidate –
the remediations to ensure that all vulnerabilities are closed and remain closed on an ongoing basis.
