Companies need a way to ensure the reliability and availability of their web-based operations that doesn’t require major investments in network infrastructure.
DDoS Monitoring Service
An essential element of any effective DDoS protection approach is proactive monitoring for traffic anomalies that may be indicators of a growing attack. To keep up with the dynamic nature of attack profiles, respond quickly to suspicious activity and minimise unnecessary mitigation, organisations must have a good understanding of what normal network traffic looks like and be able to identify anomalies quickly and accurately.
Best practices for DDoS protection dictate a combined approach for monitoring and incident mitigation. However, for enterprises looking merely for monitoring support, Verisign offers a monitoring service.
DDoS Protection Services DDoS monitoring solution delivers several benefits:
- Centralised monitoring. This enables a view across your entire network and traffic patterns all in one place, which improves the ability to quickly and confidently initiate mitigation strategies.
- Establishment of baseline network traffic. Verisign’s DDoS monitoring service collects sample packets and other pertinent information from switches, routers and other devices to establish a view of what normal traffic looks like and incorporates this information into a correlation engine for threat detection, alerts and reporting.
- Worldwide, historical trends and threat intelligence. DDoS Protection Services analyse attack patterns around the world to identify and validate potential/emerging attacks more rapidly.
- DDoS-specific alerting, logging and reporting systems. Most enterprises have IDS/IPS solutions that provide general alerts relative to security policy violations, but lack alert capabilities specifically for signs of DDoS attacks.
