GigeNET Comes To The Rescue Of Internet Service Providers And Datacenters With Its Provider Level DDoS Protection Solution

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 - GigeNET’s continual innovation and investment in its technology enables it to combat the recent onslaught of DDoS attacks that have taken down datacenters and ISPs. This solution is designed to prevent an attack on one customer from taking down an entire network. The start of 2014 has seen a surge in the number and size of attacks against datacenters and networks.

Widely known as a preeminent leader inDistributed Denial of Service (DDoS) securityand mitigation, GigeNET is headquartered just outside of Chicago, where it owns and operates a state-of-the-art 17,000 square foot datacenter. GigeNET’s full suite of DDoS protection solutions includes Automated DDoS protection for servers,ProxyShieldfor websites, and its most recent addition, Provider Level DDoS protection. The latest solution added to its DDoS protection suite makes it possible for GigeNET to protect everyone, from the one-person start-up to the largest enterprise.

The first quarter of 2014 has seen attackers moving away from application layer attacks (layer 7) in favor of easier to deploy attacks on the network and transport layers (layers 3 and 4). Large SYN floods and NTP reflection attacks have been the most common this year.

“We are seeing an increase in ISPs and Datacenter's looking for protection for their networks, so one customer getting a 50Gb/s attack doesn't take out their entire network infrastructure,” said Ameen Pishdadi, President and CTO of GigeNET. “As a result, we've recently added a significant number of data centers and ISPs to our Service Provider DDoS Protection Solution.”

GigeNET continues to harden and expand its infrastructure in anticipation of larger and ever-evolving DDoS attacks, including the installation of its own dark fiber ring. The use of dark fiber enables GigeNET to increase its data center capacity by almost 100 times while strengthening its security and reliability.
