Major DDoS Mitigation Requirements Reveled
Corero Network Security (LSE: CNS), a leading provider of
real-time security solutions against DDoS attacks, announced today
the results of the second-annual study of service providers, with
the objective uncovering the drivers, benefits, and barriers to
enhanced DDoS protection with providers offering services like
VoIP, UC, transit, public and private cloud services and E-Line and
E-LAN functionality.
The findings provide key insights into the group’s unique needs
for deploying DDoS protection across their networks and the
valuable business benefit to position themselves as leading the
charge against DDoS attacks, both in protecting their own
infrastructure and offering more comprehensive security solutions
to their customers, as a paid-for managed service.
In terms of the importance of providing DDoS mitigation in
relation to other types of security services for customers, 93
percent see it as a high priority, with 37 percent ranking it as
more important and 56 percent saying it was just as important. This
is up 10 points compared with the 83 percent total from last year.
A full 82 percent see a clear business opportunity in providing a
DDoS Protection-as-a-Service (DDPaaS) to their customers.
“Given that DDoS attacks are growing in frequency and
sophistication, it’s not at all surprising that providers are
prioritizing and enhancing DDoS mitigation service offerings, and
understand the revenue opportunity that such a service brings to
the table. It’s much more cost effective—and less complicated—for a
business to secure DDoS protection from their trusted provider,”
stated Stephanie Weagle, Corero Vice President of Marketing.
Even as service providers are clearly concerned about DDoS and
its effects, the top issue in providing DDPaaS was proving the
value of the service to customers, as cited by 39 percent survey
respondents. Other concerns in deploying DDPaaS include a
requirement for per-customer visibility and protection capabilities
from a single management console (held by 23 percent); and cost (21
percent).
In ranking what providers are looking for in an ideal DDoS
solution, unsurprisingly, the results display a wide range of
requirements.
- The ability maintain
bandwidth/throughput in the face of a DDoS attack was ranked most
important at 42 percent, similarly to last year.
- Unsurprisingly, the ability to handle
high-volume, indiscriminate attacks ranked second highest in
importance to 29 percent of respondents.
- The ability to mitigate attacks in
seconds vs minutes or more, and ability to handle attacks that are
aimed at disrupting specific applications, 25 percent each.
- The ability to reduce overall
CAPEX/OPEX was key for about a fifth of service providers, 22
percent.
The capability to integrate DDoS attack mitigation with
third-party DDoS detection tools, the ability to provide reporting
and visibility into attack types and mitigation that was executed,
as well as a solution with low false blocking rates all scored
relatively equally as requirements in deploying a DDoS mitigation
solution.
With the end-user demand for premium DDoS-as-a-service options,
those service providers that position themselves with automated,
sophisticated DDoS protection will find themselves winning in both
customer loyalty and competitive advantage.
