DDoS protection service: Top vendors in the field
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have in the past been viewed mostly as a tool of online protest due to Anonymous’ obvious predilection for this service disruption technique, but have long stopped being just that.
Unfortunately, every company whose economic success relies on its online presence can be targeted by cyber crooks who are looking to make a quick buck – whether by blackmailing the firm into paying for stopping the attack, or by getting hired by its competition to take and keep down its websites.
Most of the time, companies don’t have the means, knowledge or the inclination to set up DDoS protection by themselves, but luckily for them there are businesses out there who offer the service.
Among the most prominent are:
Among the network security and monitoring solutions that Arbor Networks offers to its customers are also DNS infrastructure protection and in-cloud DDoS protection.
