In a world of escalating cyber threats, enterprise and data center managers cannot risk relying exclusively on automated distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation tools or bandwidth reserves to stop DDoS denial of service attackers.

Just as armies constantly develop new and advanced weapons, it is necessary to develop ever more powerful and sophisticated DoS and DDoS mitigation tools. However, just as weapons need the human expertise of the solider to make them effective, DDoS mitigation tools need the real-time vigilance and expertise of human technicians to respond and adapt to each DDoS attack on the front lines.

Excerpt

“DDoS attacks change constantly – signatures, bandwidth, encryption, and size – while the attack is ongoing. Unfortunately, no automated system currently exists that can accurately identify a DDoS attack and adjust its defense in real-time as the attacker modifies the signature.”

Don’t let your enterprise be a casualty of a DDoS denial of service attack. Find out more about the limitations of automated protection measures and why humans are essential to stop DDoS attacks.
