NSFOCUS Launches Dedicated DDoS Mitigation for North American Web Hosting Providers

PR53428

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 18, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

New Managed Security Service (MSS) Offers Around-the-Clock, Sentient DDoS

Protection

   NSFOCUS, Inc. (NSFOCUS)( http://www.nsfocus.com/en/index.html), a global

provider of solutions and services for distributed denial of service

(DDoS)(http://www.nsfocus.com/en/solutions/) mitigation, today introduced its

Managed Security Service (MSS) to the North American market. MSS complements

NSFOCUS' carrier-grade Anti-DDoS System

(http://www.nsfocus.com/en/2012/ads_pro_0809/26.html) (ADS) by helping

high-capacity data center operators and Web hosting service providers protect

their most valuable asset: customers' websites. The solution combines

enterprise-level DDoS hardware and software with dedicated monitoring from

NSFOCUS's cloud-based network security operation centers around the world.

   DDoS attacks are continuing to evolve in complexity and can occur at any

time. Web hosting service providers and data center colocation operators, whose

revenues are closely tied to the ongoing success of their customers' websites,

require a deeper level of DDoS support than previously available.

   "MSS can evaluate and determine, based on proprietary algorithms, whether or

not a site visitor is a human or a malicious botnet. But that is only the

beginning," said Frank Ip, vice president of U.S. operations for NSFOCUS. "The

one-two punch of flexible, battle-tested, on-premise technology and

around-the-clock access to a DDoS security expert makes MSS a true business

partner for keeping website uptime high, maintaining customer satisfaction and

generating additional revenue."

   The key to effective DDoS mitigation is the ability to identify malicious

user behavior while still allowing the free flow of good user traffic. The

multi-layered technology built into MSS enables Web hosting service providers

to send all traffic through the ADS hardware, processing legitimate users while

segregating suspicious ones.
