DDoS Mitigation

Dealing with DoS (Denial of Service) and more specifically DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is the hardest thing for any organisation to do. Modern firewalling technology can mitigate and deny most forms of DoS attacks as blocking connections from defined source is very easily done and indeed industry leading products like Checkpoint FW-1 and Cisco ASAs have features built in to provide protection from these types of attack automatically.

DDoS attacks are another matter however, they can take many forms and as they are generally run from a network of compromised machines on the Internet (so called Botnets) the source can be many thousands of IP addresses. The most difficult attacks to deal with manipulate connections to legitimate websites but spoofs the request so that the response is sent to the network or server under attack rather than the botnet host. This can generate hundreds of thousands of packets thrown at a network from real websites and thus is impossible to block at a firewall level without cutting the service off from the Internet.

ServerStream are able to offer a cleanpipe mitigation service at the network level to protect against DDoS attacks, line-rate hardware mitigation devices apply heuristic pattern analysis algorithms to incoming connections and are able to automatically start blocking attacks within 90seconds of one starting. The traffic is cleaned before hitting any network infrastructure to ensure no degradation in performance of your environment.

Serverstream DDoS Mitigation hardware appliance protects and extends the network perimeter for carrier-class applications. The DDoS Mitigation hardware offers enterprise class security with leading technology: market-leading line-speed DDoS mitigation; - a hardened device on purpose-built, high performance hardware. With the DDoS mitigation service, there is no need to write tens of thousands of rules to recover from an attack, and no need to clean up the filter rules after an attack. The Serverstream DDoS Mitigation product simply keeps the server(s) running, while informing the network administrator of critical information about DDoS attacks.
