Resumen
The internet continues to grow in both size and speed. Residential gigabit connections are a reality, and smartphones can process more data faster thanks to the growth in mobile network access. The combination of increased bandwidth and proliferation of connected devices, many unsecured, expands the attack surface and potential for infiltration. This can result in larger, more frequent, and more sophisticated denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. For most businesses, this means that the threat of a DDoS attack seems inevitable, and these attacks are also increasingly paired with data breaches.
If you become a victim, the trust your customers have in your security is weakened, potentially sending them to your competitors. DDoS attacks are a threat to your digital business and you need a mitigation plan. Protect internet-facing websites, applications, and infrastructure with Verizon DDoS Shield.
DDoS Shield is a cloud-based service that can tackle today’s sophisticated and high-volume DDoS attacks, working across your business environment to help you maintain your operations and achieve better peace of mind. Verizon can help you protect your reputation and maintain availability of your services for customers, partners and your workforce.
The scale to beat future attacks
DDoS attacks continue to increase in size, with one of the largest recorded attacks reaching bandwidth of over 1TB per second. Attackers are using public cloud computing resources and millions of connected devices, increasingly in the Internet of Things, to create powerful botnets. The sophistication of attacks also continues to grow, as hackers find new ways to spoof IP addresses to deploy amplification attacks that don’t require botnets for a denial of service to be effective. Many cloud DDoS services simply can’t handle this kind of volume, but DDoS Shield leverages the massive ingress capacity of Verizon Digital Media Service’s infrastructure, developed expressly to combat these high volume attacks. Provided from the cloud, the service offers an ever-expanding mitigation capacity against current and future large-scale attacks. This alleviates the burden from your network and security perimeter systems, ensuring continued availability to your customers.
Protection across carriers
If you use a variety of service providers and carriers, setting up cloud based DDoS protection can be a challenge. Fortunately, DDoS Shield can protect your IP address space regardless of your internet service provider. No matter which network an attack comes over, you maintain routing control and activate our DDoS mitigation service when you need it.
