HOD HASHARON, Israel,
October 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: ALLT) a leading global
provider of intelligent broadband solutions that empower
communication service providers to optimize and monetize their
networks, enterprises to enhance productivity and consumers to
improve their digital lifestyle, announced today that The
Telecommunications and Information Technology Center of the
Generalitat de Catalunya (CTTI) selected Allot to protect
Catalonia's September 2015 elections
from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber-attacks.
CTTI is a public entity created to integrate all of Catalonia's
computing and telecommunication services under a single structure.
CTTI is responsible for leading the direction, planning, management
and control of all the computing systems and the telecommunication
services of Generalitat de Catalunya. As the organization managing
the IT operations for the September election, CTTI knew that it
needed to deploy a security solution that could protect the
infrastructure from "hacktivists" looking to disturb the region's
political process.
CTTI has been an Allot customer since 2009, first leveraging
Allot Service Gateway to obtain network usage insights to deliver
high quality of service (QoS) to various public administration
agencies. To prepare for the elections, CTTI deployed Allot
ServiceProtector as a service, a solution designed to detect and
block DDoS attacks within seconds, before they have the potential
to threaten or interrupt a network service.
Lluís Guillén Cabrera, TIC Services Director from Centre de
Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació de la Generalitat
de Catalunya "I am very satisfied with the protection provided
against DDoS attacks by Allot ServiceProtector throughout the
critical operations that took place during the past elections,
celebrated on Sept 27th in Catalonia,
safeguarding our systems against the attacks encountered during
that important event and the days prior to the elections".
"Allot worked closely with CTTI to deploy an automated and
robust security solution scalable enough to stop even the largest
DDoS attacks," said Gary Drutin, Chief Customer Officer, Allot
Communications. "By inspecting 100 percent of the network traffic
and surgically mitigating threats, Allot was able to ensure that
the Catalonian elections could operate smoothly and without network
disruption."
