Global IP Network Customers Can Choose the
Level of Mitigation Support that Best Fits their Cyber Security
Strategy
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (NYSE: NTT),
announced that it is expanding its Distributed Denial of Service
Protection Services (DPS). The expanded suite of services will
enable its Global IP Network customers around the world to easily
customize the level of service and assistance that best fits their
needs.
DDoS attacks can strike at any time, potentially crippling
network infrastructure and severely degrading the performance and
reachability of a website or other IP-accessible system. Depending
upon the type and severity of an attack, the impact can result in
significant losses in revenue and damaged assets and, most
importantly, in unpleasant experiences for end users.
“Recognizing the continuously increasing size and complexity of
DDoS attacks, NTT Com is expanding the mitigation options available
to its Global IP Network customers,” said Brian Foust, Vice
President of Customer Engineering at NTT America. “We are giving
customers the opportunity to choose the tier of support they need
based on their own cyber defense strategies and plans.”
The first option, DPS Control, is an entry-level tier of service
that provides support on access control lists (ACL) and is intended
for customers that don’t require full mitigation assistance. Using
the service, a customer can define permanent ACLs which are
deployed on its NTT Com interface(s) to block a network from
certain types of traffic as defined by the customer.
The second option, DPS Core, is an advanced tier of service for
customers that require full DDoS mitigation support. DPS Core is
supported by NTT Com’s Network Security Team, the same expert team
responsible for keeping the company’s tier-1 Global IP Network (AS
2914) infrastructure safe and secure.
NTT Com has globally deployed best-of-breed infrastructure with
robust DDoS mitigation capabilities and sufficient capacity to
combat large-scale attacks. When notified of a possible DDoS
attack, the Network Security Team analyzes network data to confirm
an attack is underway and then applies various countermeasures
including the redirection of all traffic destined for the DDoS
target through NTT Com’s mitigation platform for scrubbing.
Subscribers to DPS Core also enjoy exclusive use of the
company’s DPS Portal, a platform where customers can request
mitigations and configuration changes, and review past mitigation
reports.
