Intrusion Detection / Prevention
Attacks overload Internet connections and the supporting LAN components with large numbers of simultaneous requests. These render web and mail servers inaccessible. If a company’s Internet connection is down, this can quickly cause considerable financial loss. The solution consists of three modules and hence covers all types of attacks: against web services, Internet access and the local infrastructure. Companies that want to safeguard their systems and networks as best as they can opt to combine On Premises DDoS Protection and Backbone DDoS Protection. Together they form a stern defense shield against all types of DDoS attacks. Through communication between internal systems and the Telekom backbone, attacks can even be combated automatically.
Backbone DDoS Protection intercepts attacks in the backbone before they can reach the company’s Internet connection and prevents it from becoming overloaded. To use Backbone DDoS Protection, the customer must have Internet access through T-Systems. As it can be difficult to differentiate between a legitimate spike in traffic and a DDoS attack, Backbone DDoS Protection is not usually activated automatically but upon the customer’s request. So as not to lose valuable time, the customer can directly contact the DDoS Protect Pro team which is on hand 24/7.
