or block all distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attacks on its own.”
New research from Neustar, published in
its “October 2016 DDoS Attacks & Protec-
tion Report,” indicates that DDoS attacks
have become sophisticated, consistent and
relentless. More than 70 percent of research
respondents have suffered a DDoS attack,
and more than 50 percent of DDoS attacks
have resulted in additional compromise, such
as viruses and ransomware.
“The industry has recently seen the largest,
most complex, IoT device-driven DDoS attack
that surpassed 620 Gbps in size and lasted
over three days,” said Tom Pageler, chief
security and risk officer for Neustar. “This just
reinforces the fact that when it comes to DDoS
protection – network size, speed, capability and
expertise matter – or else the consequences
could be devastating.”
Neustar SiteProtect provides organizations
the flexibility and capability to avoid the chal-
lenges of over-investing, under-protecting, over-
protecting or under-investing. The network size
and expertise of Neustar SiteProtect enables
organizations to stay one step ahead of the cata-
strophic impact of DDoS attacks that can disrupt
online revenue, destroy customer confidence
and erode brand reputation.
Key features and enhancements to Neustar
SiteProtect include:
• Deep Automation of Defense Processes
and Activated Mitigation – Standardized
automation offerings increase the speed
of response to DDoS attacks, minimizing
their impact. The flexibility of multiple offer-
ings enables an organization to deploy the
service that works best for its demands.
• Standardized Offerings for “Always-
Ready” Traffic Flows – Avoid the unneces-
sary cost and performance degradations
that accompany always-on solutions with
the flexibility of “always-ready” traffic
flow that delivers the same high-speed
response times and minimizes any poten-
tial performance impact.
• Improved Customer Management and
Visibility into Attacks – Neustar customers
are empowered to route and scrub traffic
directly or implement auto-mitigation
options. Neustar SiteProtect displays attack
sources, protocols and traffic statistics with
up-to-the-minute and historical data in an
easy, informative way.
“Organizations cannot prevent being
targeted by a DDoS attack, so it is imperative
to identify, formulate and deploy a defense
strategy that can limit the impact and effective-
ness of these assaults,” said Rodney Joffe,
senior vice president and senior technolo-
gist for Neustar. “As DDoS attacks become
more aggressive, organizations must evaluate
both technology and the deep experience
and expertise of the company offering DDoS
defense options to find the best augmenta-
tion to their security operations. This important
partnership is often the difference between
defeating an attacker and enduring a painful
and costly attack.” p
