Lumen DDoS Hyper thwarts cyber threats during one
of the world's biggest sporting events
DENVER, Nov. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Before the Texas Rangers
celebrated their World Series win, an unseen hero was playing a
pivotal role in securing Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers tapped Lumen
Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) for on-demand distributed denial of
service (DDoS) to help ensure their critical infrastructure,
stadium Wi-Fi and fan experience remained uninterrupted from
cyberattacks.
"Cybersecurity is increasingly crucial in high-profile sporting
events like the World Series. We left nothing to chance," said
Mike Bullock, Senior Vice President
of Information Technology for the Texas Rangers. "Lumen DDoS Hyper
was instrumental in providing rapid, effective protection against
complex cyberattacks, providing a seamless experience for our team
and fans."
DDoS attacks, aimed at overwhelming network traffic to disrupt
services, are a growing concern in the digital age. Lumen DDoS
Hyper rerouted the Rangers network traffic through global scrubbing
centers to filter malicious activities and maintain the integrity
of clean traffic.
"Lumen stepped up to the plate to help protect the Texas Rangers
and their fans from the disruptive effects of DDoS attacks," said
Martin Nystrom, Vice President of
Product Security for Lumen. "Lumen DDoS Hyper gave the Rangers a
self-service way to quickly turn up mitigation services to combat
complex and costly threats. Our advanced scrubbing center
technology combined with our Black Lotus
Labs® threat intelligence helped us create a safe
environment while the team concentrated on delivering an
electrifying performance."
The Rangers' proactive integration of Lumen's cybersecurity
measures at Globe Life Field highlights their commitment to
safeguarding digital assets and maintaining the integrity of iconic
sporting events.
