Instart Logic and Verisign team up to fight DDoS attacks
DDoS activity is at its highest for two years according to Verisign's Q3 2015 DDoS Trends Report, and as the number and sophistication of attacks increases, companies are recognizing the need for better security.
Application delivery specialist Instart Logic has announced a partnership with Verisign to offer customers an advanced DDoS scrubbing capability.
"In an ever changing cyber threat landscape, this technology integration will provide customers the combined benefit of a CDN through Instart Logic's application delivery platform and DDoS protection through Verisign’s DDoS Protection Service," says Ramakant Pandrangi, vice president of technology at Verisign.
The collaboration combines Verisign's DDoS protection services with Instart Logic's cloud security suite to effectively and efficiently combat some of the world’s largest attacks. When a DDoS event is detected, a customer’s internet traffic will be redirected to Verisign's DDoS Protection Services in the cloud, sending attack traffic to Verisign before it can harm their network. The DDoS traffic is then scrubbed through the use of Verisign's Athena mitigation platform and massively-scaled global network designed to handle advanced application and volumetric attacks. Filtered traffic is then sent to the customer’s network, so they can sustain normal business operations.
"Our ability to provide speed, security and scale can only happen with meaningful, strategic partnerships throughout the world that enable us to accelerate our go to market within the various regions," says Samrah Khan, head of business development and partnerships at Instart Logic. "Collaborating with organizations that share our vision allow us to provide more customers with the best solutions for delivering web and mobile applications".
The DDoS scrubbing service is available from today as an add-on to the Instart Logic's cloud security suite. You can find out more on the company's website.
