What is a DDoS?

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person, or multiple people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. DDoS are initiated through thousands of infected devices and are very hard to stop. The only effective way is to capture it before it reaches your provider.

Many organizations believe that it won’t happen to them, but denial is no defense. On average there are more than 7,000 DDoS attacks observed daily – a number which is growing rapidly. And for those organizations that do expect the worst, the bad news is that the DDoS defenses they currently have in place are unlikely to withstand the biggest multi-Gbps attacks. In an industry full of mitigation providers making big promises, only one company – Prolexic – has the expertise, experience and proven track record to detect and withstand all attacks.

Cyberia, a Global partner for Prolexic brings you a extensive regional experience, one contract for your connectivity and Security, Local Support and Dedicated engineers to liaise with our partners.

How?

Simple, we will keep you alive and get you back your clean traffic.

Activation via route advertisement (routed solution) – The preferred method of activation for enterprise-class businesses, this service provides protection for all services, ports and protocols while providing total control over when traffic is filtered. Attacks are detected by monitoring customer premise equipment and the service is activated using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to onramp traffic to our cloud-based mitigation infrastructure.



Activation via DNS redirect – You initiate a DNS change to redirect all network traffic through the Cloud where it is cleansed. Suitable for small to medium businesses and all firms under immediate attack, this is the quickest way to provision our DDoS mitigation protection. This service provides protection and DDoS mitigation for all HTTP and HTTPS (secure) Internet traffic and against all types and sizes of DDoS attacks.
