DDoS attacks come in all shapes and sizes, from brute force volumetric floods to sophisticated application layer exploits. Regardless of the size or complexity of the attack, the downtime associated with a DDoS attack can result in significant revenue losses with some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars per incident.

"The dilemma facing many organisations is whether to deploy an on-premise DDoS appliance or subscribe to a cloud provider for DDoS protection on-demand. With a hybrid approach to DDoS protection, organisations can rest easy with a solution that combines the best of both worlds," said Nirav Shah, Director of Product Management, Corero Network Security.

The Corero DDoS Defense System (DDS) provides always on protection against the full range of potential DDoS attacks from low level fragment attacks, through session oriented SYN-floods, to advanced application layer abuse. In cases where a customer needs expert assistance in mitigating an attack or the attack bandwidth exceeds the capacity of an enterprise's Internet connectivity, additional protection would be provided using a failover service to Neustar's SiteProtect cloud-based DDoS mitigation service. Additionally, with the Corero SecureWatch PLUS® service, enterprises can benefit from the collaborative communication among the DDoS solution providers, thereby adding threat intelligence and control to their business continuity plan.

Neustar's Strategic Alliance Program allows partners to promote a world-class cloud-based DDoS mitigation service to their customers. "Neustar is excited to have Corero as a Strategic Alliance Program partner. By extending access to Neustar and our expert mitigation teams, Corero will ensure that its customers are prepared to address the growing threat of DDoS attacks," said Alex Berry, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Services, Neustar.

"Our customers have seen the robust benefits of using the hybrid combination of on-demand cloud services and on-premise DDoS defenses to combat the ever expanding range of cyber threats that challenges online businesses today. We are pleased to extend a more comprehensive solution to enterprises experiencing the damaging effects of the varied DDoS attacks," said Ashley Stephenson, CEO, Corero Network Security.
