“DDoS protection on a network level is becoming a commodity – it’s not a luxury,” says Manzione. However, Manzione maintains it’s also up to network providers to ensure “security by default”, without putting customers in the position of choosing between securing their organisation or not. “Consider that 20 years ago, automatic braking systems (ABS) weren’t compulsory in new cars – they were sold as an extra. It then became the law that car manufacturers must include ABS as a standard feature. The same should apply to network security from service providers,” he says.
So, what is DDoS mitigation? Put simply, it can be viewed as a “bouncer” for your network – only allowing certain traffic to enter in line with your needs, while prioritising and escalating certain potential threats when necessary. RETN recently launched a new DDoS mitigation platform, which combines cybersecurity with network-level protection, increasing scrubbing capacity – the ability to stay online during attacks without losing service – for customers by 5,000 per cent.
