A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a provider of intelligent and
automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced a global tier-1
Cloud Service Provider has selected and deployed Thunder TPS
(Threat Protection System) with A10’s Non-stop DNS solution across
multiple data centers to ensure resilience from escalating
cyber-attacks, and scale its mission critical DNS services.
The escalation of threats against critical infrastructure
services has been a wake-up call for the need for new, robust
defense solutions to safeguard business critical operations. The
2016 DDoS cyberattacks on Dyn caused major disruptions to many
high-profile websites across North America, Europe and around the
world by targeting their Domain Name Service (DNS)
infrastructures.
Fast-growing Cloud Service Providers must safeguard customer
trust and project a reliable brand image. Issues impacting service
reliability and service level agreements (SLAs) are a major concern
to guarantee growth, and DDoS protection and DNS infrastructure
availability are critical to cloud operations. The Cloud Service
Provider required a superior mitigation solution, which would
integrate with their own internal detection and management control
center while providing a high performance, flexible and
cost-effective DDoS protection solution.
A10 worked with the Cloud Service Provider to create an
innovative Non-stop DNS solution to prevent anticipated DNS
meltdowns due to DDoS attacks on their DNS infrastructure. The
solution, utilizing Thunder TPS, was first deployed in 2017 to
provide Non-stop DNS services for the Cloud Service Provider.
At the heart of the new solution is a ground-breaking
authoritative DNS cache from A10 that achieves unprecedented levels
of scale and performance while protecting the backend DNS servers.
This new capability complements the industry-leading DNS service
protection available on the Thunder TPS Mitigator platform to
further fortify DDoS defenses. The overall solution provides
multi-vector protection which is highly accurate, granular, and
provides scalable enforcement, ultimately reducing CAPEX and
OPEX.
A10 Thunder TPS Non-stop DNS enables the following key
benefits:
- Highly scalable authoritative DNS cache
server to eliminate the impact of DNS DDoS attacks
- 150x DNS performance vs a typical DNS
server
- Up to 35M queries per second (QPS)
- Impedes attacker reconnaissance by
responding in a manner that is indistinguishable from the backend
authoritative DNS servers
- Absorbs massive attacks while limiting
the volume of queries to the backend DNS servers
- Enhances the experience of legitimate
users by reducing DNS response time especially when placed at the
network edge in global service provider networks
- Ease of integration with detection and
management systems via OpenAPI (aXAPI) to automate tasks
“High profile outages caused by attacks on critical
infrastructure have demanded the creation of new solutions,” said
Raj Jalan, CTO, A10 Networks. “The A10 Networks Non-stop DNS
solution enables any service provider to avoid costly downtime by
keeping DNS infrastructure operational despite the largest targeted
attacks.”
When DNS servers are targeted by attackers, Thunder TPS
Authoritative DNS Cache can provide Non-stop DNS service with
unmatched capability and performance.
