| | OCTOBER 20176CIOReviewThe era of connectivity has presented substantial opportunities for businesses. However, on the darker side of the connectivity spectrum, prebuilt off-the-shelf attack tools, and multiple points of vulnerability of the internet are posing a massive threat for businesses big and small. With every industry and individual serving as soft targets of cyberattacks, there is a considerable rise in the number of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that can cripple a business. As DDoS attacks are among the most difficult to defend against, responding to them effectively and on a timely basis is a tremendous challenge for all Internet-dependent organizations. Regardless of the type of DDoS attack, many threat mitigation techniques often fall short in terms of ensuring business continuity. Popular anti-DDoS responses such as blackholing and router filtering-are not optimized to deal with the increasingly sophisticated attacks of today.As attackers design innovative techniques for avoiding detection and mitigation, many developers, key vendors, and innovative companies are developing effective solutions that can safeguard businesses round the clock. Based on the principles of detection, diversion, verification, and forwarding, these solutions integrate a variety of verification, analysis, and enforcement techniques to identify and separate malicious traffic from legitimate traffic. Going beyond simple filtering, these solutions "clean" the data to remove malicious traffic while allowing good packets to pass, helping ensure business continuity, and preserving business integrity. Many solution providers are offering solutions that can not only complement existing security methods such as firewalls, but also have the ability to block increasingly complex and difficult-to-detect attack traffic without impacting legitimate ones.At this juncture, CIOReview brings to you the 20 Most Promising DDoS Solution providers. We are featuring a list of key players in the DDoS space along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the industry. We believe this edition will help you in evaluating and formalizing effective security strategies for your organization.Let us know your thoughts.
