Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) FAQS

Identify and mitigate DDoS attacks in real-time.

Blackholing and Scrubbing Ensure Uninterrupted Internet Connectivity

IRIS Networks adds DDoS Scrubbing service, specifically designed for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in rural markets, to its current Blackholing service. This innovative solution aims to provide robust and reliable protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring uninterrupted internet connectivity for rural communities.

The DDoS Scrubbing service uses advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify and mitigate DDoS attacks in real-time. This ensures that ISPs can maintain their services without interruption, even in the face of sophisticated cyber threats.

Common signs include unusually slow network performance, unavailability of a particular website, or an inability to access any websites at all.

There are three primary types: Volume-based attacks, Protocol attacks, and Application layer attacks, each targeting different aspects of network and server infrastructure.

The sooner the attack can be identified the sooner it can be mitigated. Ask about Time-to Detect SLA.

When something bad happens, you want to be the first to know about it. The Time to Alert SLA is crucial for ensuring that you're notified immediately if under attack.

Any delay in diversion can result in needless downtime? The Time to Divert SLA commits to how fast diversion can start once an attack has been detected.

The Time-to-Mitigate measures the speed with which DDoS mitigation vendors mitigate different types of attacks, based on characteristics.

The Consistency of Mitigation metric provides a baseline to calculate the effectiveness of mitigation, and how much bad traffic is allowed through.

Service Availability defines uptime requirements for service and how much downtime will be tolerated on an annual basis.

Implementing a comprehensive DDoS protection solution, maintaining good network hygiene, and working with a professional security service are key measures to protect against DDoS attacks.

While it is challenging to prevent DDoS attacks entirely, you can mitigate their impact through proper security measures and responsive action plans.
