Denial of Service Attacks

Reduce the Impact of Attack Traffic on your Network

Malware authors often prey on residential broadband subscribers - the weakest, most unprotected nodes on a network. Home users are difficult to protect en masse, and service providers are forced to bear escalating support costs and attacks on their ability to deliver the best possible Internet experience.

Service providers face a unique dimension of the malware problem posed by the impact of malicious traffic on network operation. Denial of Service attacks, local or distributed, degrade service levels by denying subscribers access to Internet resources, often resulting in complex helpdesk calls.

Sandvine's network-based Denial of Service attack traffic mitigation preserves the subscriber experience by filtering attacks and eliminating malicious traffic while allowing all legitimate requests to proceed through the network.

Sandvine pioneered the behavioral approach to network protection that is gaining widespread acceptance as the only realistic defense against modern malware. By building a layer of intelligence into the network itself, a layer that is capable of catching diverse and zero-day threats, we believe that a service provider can dramatically reduce the expenses associated with protecting a network’s operational integrity.
