High-capacity on-network scrubbing ensures
superior delivery performance
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today introduced new capabilities to its
DDoS Attack Interceptor Service that provide high-capacity
on-network scrubbing and a scalable range of protection measures
for web infrastructure, with the ability to easily increase
protection as security requirements change.
Protecting websites from online attacks and cyber threats is one
of the most pressing security challenges today. For example, data
from Limelight’s State of Cybersecurity Report: SE Asia shows
consumers are very concerned about the security of ecommerce sites,
with 72 percent saying they have a negative opinion of a brand
after hearing that it has suffered a cyberattack. In addition, 51
percent of online websites feel they are vulnerable to attacks that
could have significant financial and brand implications, despite
having protections already in place.
Limelight DDoS Attack Interceptor (DAI) is a comprehensive,
multi-layer solution that offers protection from even the largest
and most complex DDoS attacks before they can impact website
performance. DAI provides layers of defense, including detection of
malicious traffic and proactive notification. The new capabilities
add high-capacity on-network scrubbing for fast mitigation even
while under attack.
By integrating DDoS mitigation capabilities directly into
Limelight’s massive global private network infrastructure, attack
traffic can be scrubbed in multiple regional locations at high
capacity without needing to be diverted to a separate network and
returned to the Content Delivery Network (CDN) for delivery.
Limelight provides superior delivery performance, even under the
largest DDoS attacks.
Limelight offers multiple DDoS attack detection and prevention
options, making it easy for customers to choose the appropriate
level of protection. In addition to a standard DAI offering,
Limelight is now providing two additional DDoS protection
levels:
- An entry-level offering with integrated
monitoring and per-mitigation pricing is available for
organizations that need to monitor the frequency of DDoS attacks
and be prepared to respond when necessary
- A premium offering with unlimited
mitigations is available for organizations that want the assurance
of mitigating multiple DDoS attacks for a fixed price
All levels include multiple detection locations at the edge of
the CDN for faster detection, and attack mitigation by a dedicated
24/7 security operations center.
To make it easy for organizations that are not currently
protected by a DDoS solution to monitor the frequency of attacks
and quickly respond when necessary, customers who sign up for
Limelight’s per-incident DDoS mitigation protection will receive
their first DDoS mitigation free of charge for a limited time.
“Today, almost every type of online service is at risk for
cyber-attacks. At best, a DDoS attack will cause inconvenience --
at worst it can bring down an entire business,” said Steve
Miller-Jones, Senior Director of Product Management at Limelight
Networks. “DDoS Attack Interceptor offers a range of options and
price points to help online organizations guard their web presence.
With the addition of our new capabilities, Limelight’s DDoS
mitigation capability is more scalable and faster than ever.”
