Superior technology protects against today's
known threats and tomorrow's new threats
NEW
YORK, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightpath,
an all-fiber, infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is
revolutionizing how organizations connect to their digital
destinations, announced the launch of LP DDoS Shield, its
next-generation network safeguard against a growing list of DDoS
(Distributed Denial of Service) attack types.
At a time when DDoS attacks are increasing
in size, scale, and sophistication, enhanced DDoS protection is
fundamental.
Lightpath's LP DDoS Shield utilizes advanced DDoS detection and
mitigation technology from Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading
provider of cybersecurity solutions. Radware's automated DDoS
defense includes patented algorithms and AI-powered technology to
more quickly detect, identify, and mitigate zero-day attacks, the
hardest to defend against, as well as IoT-based, Burst, DNS and
TLS/SSL attacks, phantom floods, and more. In addition, the
solution offers customers complete visibility and reporting through
a private portal.
As new types of DDoS threats appear, the solution leverages
Radware's behavioral-based technology and global footprint to
accurately identify the attacks and automatically generate
signatures in real-time. The new signatures are then automatically
distributed and enabled to keep customers protected.
"At a time when DDoS attacks are increasing in size, scale, and
sophistication, enhanced DDoS protection is fundamental to our
commitment to providing customers with a solution for secure,
reliable, and future-ready connectivity," stated Tim Haverkate, SVP of Commercial Operations for
Lightpath. "LP DDoS Shield dramatically improves the protections
that we can offer our customers to help protect them against DDoS
threats thanks to its advanced, dynamic technologies."
When customers get their DDoS protection from Lightpath as their
Internet Service Provider, they gain the timeliest, integrated
detection and mitigation without extra network hops. This is made
possible since LP DDoS Shield is integrated into Lightpath's core
network. This way, data does not have to be re-routed to a
third-party Internet scrubbing center during either peacetime or
attack time. This Lightpath architecture eliminates extra network
routing, which minimizes the solution's impact on latency.
Another key benefit of LP DDoS Shield is that it is fully
managed 24/7 by security experts, minimizing the impact on a
customer's personnel resources. With Lightpath, there is one
support team for both Dedicated Internet Access and DDoS mitigation
to minimize the number of contacts needed should an issue
arise.
