Threat Mitigation
Network security threats are a regular occurrence for ISP’s (internet service providers) and global enterprises. Hackers can now transform legions of unsecured home computers into massive ‘botnet’ armies with the firepower to disable enterprise networks and disrupt converged data and voice services.
Network operators must detect and mitigate such network-wide threats before they impact critical business services and applications, whilst keeping an eye on the bottom line. What’s needed is a single solution that can reduce churn by proactively blocking these threats, whilst also increasing revenue by enabling the delivery of profitable new services.
Imtech Telecom Global deploy the Allot Solution, a comprehensive threat management system that offers multiple methods of attack detection and mitigation such as:
- Access control lists (ACLs).
- BGP black-hole routing.
- BGP flow-spec.
- Attack fingerprint sharing.
- Support for other third-party packet scrubbing products.
Surgical Mitigation
To reduce collateral damage, service providers often shut down all traffic destined for the victim’s site, ultimately completing the DDoS attack. The combination of Allot (Threat Management System) device allows network operators to detect and surgically remove just the attack traffic, whilst maintaining the legitimate business traffic. After the attack has been stopped reports can be run that summarise the mitigation process for customers and management.
