Media/Telecom
These days, we depend on telecommunications companies like never before to provide on-demand, 24/7 access to web sites, programming and applications wherever we are in the world. This dynamic, highly competitive industry encompasses wireline and wireless carriers, Internet service providers, cloud service providers, cable operators, and content creators like broadcasting, publishing and entertainment organizations. However, one thing unites this diverse crowd: susceptibility to DDoS attack.
With such a high profile, many firms are on the radar of hackers. Some attacks are politically driven to make a point. Some are financially driven to impact the bottom line. Whether a DDoS attack is instigated by a political group, a cyber-gang, or just kids trying to impress their friends, the impact is very real. Whenever the ability to access content or communicate is taken away, disgruntled businesses and consumers will look elsewhere for services and the damage to brand reputation can be severe, especially if outages are on-going. That’s why both media companies and communications providers – including those that offer email, DNS services, Internet- and cloud-based services – need strong DDoS defenses in place.
While many telecom firms have mitigation capabilities in-house, they only go so far. To be truly protected against attacks targeted at the network, transport and application layers, a specialist “pure play” provider with significant attack fighting expertise is a better choice, leaving you free to concentrate resources on your core business.
