Defense system upgraded to protect enterprises
from the next evolution of DDoS and application attacks
Neustar, Inc., a trusted, neutral provider of real-time
information services, today launched SiteProtect NG™ (Next
Generation), its new solution to protect brands against DDoS
(distributed denial of service) attacks.
It is the latest wave of the company’s purpose-built DDoS
mitigation solution designed to meet the security requirements of
all brands, on-premise and in the cloud, to deal with the next
generation of cyber threats. This powerful upgrade adds Neustar’s
state of the art WAF (web application firewall) solution to the
award-winning Neustar SiteProtect solution to extend network
protection to the application layer. A new real-time user interface
provides consolidated in-depth trend analysis and gives brands
unprecedented access to attack forensics that are not currently
available through traditional defense services.
“Years of experience and cybersecurity engineering capabilities
have gone into the development of the SiteProtect NG defense
network and operating portal,” said Barrett Lyon, Vice President,
Research and Development, Neustar Security Solutions. “Neustar is
investing in the future of DDoS defense from an architectural
standpoint and sees the expansion and closer integration of its
security solutions portfolio as a long term strategic commitment
for the company.”
“Neustar’s clients have the best protection, best user
experience, broadest selection of configurations, and powerful
analytics at their disposal. DDoS attacks will continue to present
brands across the globe with significant challenges to their
operational efficiency for the foreseeable future, and our
investment in mitigation solutions will continue at pace,” added
Lyon.
SiteProtect NG breaks with the tradition of designing network
protection that makes use of a high volume of small scrubbing
centers with fewer, highly fortified and highly connected
locations. SiteProtect NG network has deployed large, full scale,
nodes, each with its multi-terabit scrubbing capacity in North
America, Europe, and Asia with South America, Africa, Australia,
and India slated for early 2018.
“DDoS attacks reached unprecedented levels in 2017 and all
trends Neustar is mapping indicate that 2018 is going to see the
situation worsen dramatically. Cybercriminals, both private and
state funded, have the wherewithal to surgically target individual
brands, or initiate brute force attacks with the potential to cause
catastrophic damage on a global scale. For many cybersecurity
professionals, there is no respite, with attackers probing and
often breaching defenses on a daily basis,” commented Rodney Joffe,
Senior Vice President and Fellow, Neustar.
“Future proofing mitigation networks to stop attacks before they
reach their target destination will save brands billions each year
from the impact of DDoS attacks. Neustar’s R&D spend is
reflective of the very real need to continually innovate in the
face of such adversity and today protects thousands of brands from
an increasingly diverse threat landscape. SiteProtect NG is a
product that leverages the latest innovations in internet security
and evolves to meet existing and future requirements.”
Neustar is giving clients more control and more functionality to
build stronger defenses for their brands against DDoS attacks than
ever before. The SiteProtect NG mitigation network combines
innovative technologies and advancements from existing Neustar
security solutions with powerful data traffic analytics powered by
machine learning data analytics. This gives brands in-depth trend
and attack analysis, leaving them with invaluable insights, which
enable them to make smarter decisions about the configuration of
their network security moving forward.
