As the only recipient of the Frost & Sullivan 2021 Global
New Product Innovation Award in the holistic web protection market,
Lumen received the acclaim for its combination of enterprise
security solutions including:
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation –
Lumen's DDoS Mitigation Service is backed by 85 Tbps of
mitigation capacity across the company's global scrubbing centers
with next-gen intelligent routing. This technology enables
customers to decrease mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-resolve
attacks by as much as 75%1.
The service is available through a traditional turn-up model, or
through DDoS Hyper, an emergency turn-up solution that allows a new
customer to activate DDoS protection in minutes. Lumen DDoS
Mitigation Service also includes Rapid Threat Defense –
powered by the intelligence of Black Lotus Labs® –
to provide automated detection and response to threats in near
real-time.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) – With more business
moving to the edge cloud, the
traditional "firewall in a box" is often no longer sufficient.
Lumen's WAF delivers crucial web and application protection
that is designed to reduce costly data breaches and downtime by
combining multiple defenses that can accurately pinpoint and
mitigate attacks without blocking customers.
- Bot Risk Management (BRM) – Not all bots are nefarious,
and every company needs to manage bots differently, which is why
Bot Risk Management is a critical element of a holistic security
solution. By partnering with best-of-breed security providers,
Lumen can automatically differentiate good traffic from bad, and
mitigate sophisticated attacks.
"We know businesses are looking for a trusted partner on the
Edge," said Christopher Smith, Lumen
Technologies vice president of platform applications. "Companies
are facing new challenges that require them to get, use, and
leverage their data at almost unimaginable speeds. The emerging
technologies and data intensive needs for the 4IR demand that
speed. Our networking, cloud and security solutions are the power
these latency-sensitive, next-gen business applications need. We
are honored that Frost & Sullivan recognized the innovation we
bring to this front."
In recognizing Lumen for New Product Innovation, Frost &
Sullivan noted the company's focus on continually improving
the customer experience. "By integrating Lumen DDoS mitigation
solutions with WAF solutions, Lumen offers a complete capability
designed to protect network and application layers," said
Steven Lopez, Frost & Sullivan
best practices research analyst. "Ultimately, streamlining the
security strategy set in place to simplify, integrate, and automate
the solution's capabilities, Lumen achieves the outcome for optimal
efficiency and cost-effective customer experiences."
