DDoS Protection Services

Datapipe delivers a complete DDoS protection solution based on the principles of detection, diversion, verification and forwarding to ensure total protection.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are weapons of mass disruption. Unlike access attacks that penetrate security perimeters to steal information, DDoS attacks paralyze Internet systems by swamping servers, network links and network devices (routers, firewalls, etc.) with bogus traffic.

DDoS is emerging as the weapon of choice for hackers, political "hacktivists" and international cyber-terrorists. Easily launched against limited defenses, DDoS attacks not only target individual Web sites or other servers at the edge of the network - they subdue the network itself. In recent months, massive DDoS attacks have significantly impacted mission-critical systems at large scale retailers, e-commerce,and government offices around the world.

Growing dependence on the Internet makes the impact of successful DDoS attacks - financial and otherwise - increasingly painful for service providers, enterprises and government agencies. More complex, challenging DDoS tools are always on the horizon requiring a constant state of vigilance to effectively mitigate risk and cost.
