AMERSHAM, England, July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Corero Network
Security plc (AIM: CNS.L), a leading provider of real-time,
automatic Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber defense
solutions, and Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven
networks, team up to provide Plusnet, an organization offering
communications and network services to 25,000 businesses in
Germany, with their joint DDoS Protection
Solution to protect its infrastructure, business and customers
within seconds of a DDoS attack.
Over the past 20+ years, DDoS attacks have always been a part of
the threat landscape, but their frequency, magnitude and
sophistication are constantly increasing. Plusnet, which serves 200
cities and regions of Germany,
previously relied on an internal data filtering solution to analyze
anomalies in traffic patterns. However, this in-house solution
required manual intervention, which was neither practical nor
effective as attacks mounted and evolved. Plusnet needed to
automate DDoS mitigation with effective, dynamic, and scalable
protection to defend its national network from attack-driven
outages.
"During the testing phase of the Juniper-Corero solution, we
could immediately see a manageable stream of DDoS attacks. With the
Juniper-Corero solution, Plusnet is able to further improve network
protection without any significant impact on network performance,"
said Ralf Weber, Head of
Competence Center Network & Security, Plusnet.
Solution highlights:
- The joint solution removes malicious traffic at the network
edge, as close to the source as possible, delivering fast and
effective protection cost-effectively.
- Plusnet took an active approach to thwart DDoS attacks with
Juniper Networks and Corero Joint DDoS Protection, delivering
real-time detection and line-rate mitigation of DDoS attacks, which
is able to identify and block very significant attacks in
seconds.
- Juniper Networks® MX Series Universal Routing
Platforms work together with Corero SmartWall Threat
Defense Director to rapidly identify, precisely detect and
automate mitigation of attacks. Analytics and continuous monitoring
provide comprehensive visibility of data patterns and anomalies for
network security professionals.
- As DDoS attacks continue to increase, the protection
capacity provided by this solution can be expanded to tens of
terabits per second.
"More than ever before, providers need to ensure that their
infrastructure and business operations are always available to
deliver an exceptional user experience. This can only be
achieved when security is built into the same network
infrastructure that provides connectivity and extended across every
point of connection. Plusnet is a great example that
leverages Juniper Connected Security to enable the
threat-aware network, ensuring its operations are comprehensively
protected 24/7 against the growing risk of DDoS attacks," said
Samantha Madrid, Vice President,
Security Business & Strategy, Juniper Networks.
"We are very pleased to continue partnering with Juniper
Networks to provide a superior DDoS solution that is now protecting
thousands of customers around the globe. The SmartWall TDD solution
couples Corero's surgically accurate, real-time automatic DDoS
protection with the high-performance packet filtering of Juniper MX
Series routers. This, along with the comprehensive visibility into
attacks, enabled Plusnet to implement a cutting-edge solution that
can detect and mitigate DDoS attacks in seconds to protect its
network and the ones of its customers," said Lionel Chmilewsky,
Chief Executive Officer at Corero Network Security.
