Germany chooses Corero24 Nov 2016 08:37
regional service provider based in Hanover, Germany has selected the SmartWall® Threat Defense System (TDS) from the leading supplier of real-time DDoS attack mitigation technology, Corero Network Security (LSE: CNS). Across the industry, increasing numbers of enterprise customers are demanding more proactive and sophisticated DDoS protection from their Internet Providers in response to evolving attack techniques. In order to address this demand, htp GmbH has implemented automatic DDoS protection technology from Corero, which has been deemed “unparalleled.“
htp sought the Corero solution to mitigate against the DDoS attacks they were experiencing almost daily. The company had previously used static filters to defend against attacks, which allowed a successful attack to keep one of the carrier’s central systems unavailable for an extended period of time.
Robert Remenyi, responsible for planning the internet backbone for htp GmbH, explained how the Corero TDS has allowed them to identify smaller, sub-saturating DDoS attacks on the company’s network. “Around two years ago, we started to examine the peaks of our bandwidth spikes. With FlowAccounting, we have the ability to analyze conspicuous swings, confirming our suspicions. These spikes in bandwidth utilization have actually been DDoS attacks, and they were generally UDP (user datagram protocol) amplification attacks.”
