HOD HASHARON, Israel,
December 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: ALLT), a leading global
provider of intelligent broadband solutions that empowers
communication service providers to optimize and monetize their
networks, enterprises to enhance productivity and consumers to
improve their digital lifestyle, announced today it has received
five orders for Allot ServiceProtector, a solution that provides
protection against massive distributed denial of service (DDoS)
attacks, prevention of outbound spam, and containment and cleanup
of infected botnet hosts.
As recent attacks and high-profile breaches demonstrate,
motivated hackers are infiltrating networks via more sophisticated
and targeted vectors. For example, the third-quarter 2014 Verisign
Distributed Denial of Service Trends Report found that
high-Bandwidth DDoS attacks of 10G bps and higher are becoming
increasingly commonplace. Additionally, the McAfee Labs Threats
Report: June 2014 found that malware is increasingly abusing mobile
device platforms. With an average data breach to a company topping
$3.5 million, according to Ponemon
Institute's 2014 Cost of Data Breach Study, organizations
cannot afford to leave their networks open to vulnerability.
In response to growing cyber threats, five Tier-1 operators have
selected Allot ServiceProtector to deliver and monetize value-added
security offerings to customers. Allot ServiceProtector solution
employs state-of-the-art Network and Host Behavior Anomaly
Detection (NBAD, HBAD) technologies, scales to Terabit networks and
allows to quickly and accurately identify and neutralize security
threats before they disrupt service delivery. ServiceProtector
Sensor and Mitigation functions are embedded within Allot Service
Gateway platforms and Allot NetEnforcer devices to protect service
networks against a number of growing threats including DoS/DDoS
attacks against customer web services; Zero Day attacks; anomalous
traffic impacting network and service performance; anomalous
behavior such as spamming, worm propagation, botnet attacks; and
malicious user activity such as probing and flooding.
"Network operators are not just delivering bandwidth, they are
tasked with protecting and ensuring availability of fixed and
mobile broadband networks and the services they deliver to their
customers," said Yaniv Sulkes, AVP
Marketing at Allot Communications. "Allot is playing a critical
role by delivering a high scale security solution that can not only
protect performance but also enhance network integrity. By
detecting traffic anomalies and instantly blocking, limiting, and
isolating offending traffic, Allot can mitigate threats without
interrupting legitimate traffic."
