Combined with New SecureWatch PLUS Monitoring and Intervention Service,
Corero Provides Around the Clock Protection against DDoS Attacks.
Corero Network Security (CNS: LN), the leader in on-premises Distributed Denial of
Service (DDoS) protection for enterprises, data centers and
hosting providers, today announced availability of its DDoS Defense System (DDS),
which detects and blocks both network and application-layer DDoS attacks.
Corero complements DDS with SecureWatch PLUS, a new comprehensive monitoring
and intervention service. Corero is the only company to offer the combination
of on-premises DDoS defense products and specialized anti-DDoS services
tailored to each customer's specific needs.
The CoreroSecureWatch PLUS service extends customers' security teams with
experienced and battle-proven DDoS defense expertise. Corero installs the DDS
unit as an in-line network device and supplements the specially configured
hardware and software elements with 24x7 SecureWatch PLUS support from the
Corero Security Operations Center (SOC). A dedicated technical account team
works closely with the customer to provide proactive DDoS defense planning,
implement around-the-clock surveillance, and coordinate a sustained and expert
response in the event of an attack.
SecureWatch PLUS features three stages of support:
* Preparation:
-Audit the customer's IT environment, and provide a customized and complete
defensive configuration based on corporate security policy and DDoS defense
best practices
-Collaboratively establish a coordinated DDoS attack response plan that combines
end-user and Corero expertise, to ensure timely and effective actions that
support the customer's business objectives in the event of a DDoS attack
* Vigilance:
- Ongoing collaboration and communication between Corero and the SecureWatch
PLUS customer to ensure up-to-date defenses in the face of evolving threats and
a dynamic end-user environment
- 24x7 security monitoring to deliver real-time alerting to the end-user and
the Corero security operations center staff at the onset of an attack
*Response:
- Immediate engagement of CoreroDDoS defense experts, armed with a thorough
understanding of the SecureWatch PLUS customer's policies, configuration and
business-critical requirements, working with customer IT staff to quickly and
effectively mitigate the attack
- Continued availability of CoreroDDoS defense expertise throughout the
duration of an attack to help assure business continuity
- Post-incident assessment of attack methods, impact and recommended measures
to improve preparation for and response to possible future attacks
"DDoS defenses must be dynamic, smart and tenacious to effectively combat
today's sophisticated, agile and persistent threats," said Steve Turner,
VP of Technology Solutions and Services at Corero Network Security. "At
Corero, we take a two-fold approach to thwarting DDoS attacks, by delivering
superb DDoS defense technology and expert support services as a trusted partner
to our customers. The collaborative nature of the service delivery between
Corero and our customers assures both products and processes are in a
continuous state of the highest possible defensive readiness in order to
safeguard customer organizations and promote business availability."
Corero's DDS, the company's dedicated DDoS defense product, defends against
both network-layer SYN flood and other rate-based DDoS attacks and the more
insidious, low and slow, application-layer DDoS attacks. The difficulty in even
identifying these application-layer attacks renders traditional DDoS solutions
ineffective, leading to lost revenue and business disruption. DDS builds off of
the company's more than 10 years of expertise in DDoS defense technology and
attack mitigation solutions. The solution is built on Corero's flagship
fourth-generation network security platform which features three-dimensional
protection (3DP) against network-borne cyber threats, including botnet-based
DDoS attacks.
