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."
