ZENEDGE, a provider of cloud-based, artificial intelligence driven web application firewall and DDoS cybersecurity solutions, announced the availability of ZENEDGE Single IP Protection, delivering enterprise-class network DDoS mitigation to organizations with less than a class C subnet.
Traditional network DDoS protection leverages Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to determine routing decisions. An inherent limitation of routers requires a minimum of a class C subnet (254 usable, 256 total IP addresses) for BGP configurations to work. ISPs (upstream) will not accept advertisements of a smaller subnet, except under special circumstances, said Leon Kuperman, company CTO.
This requirement limits organizations with smaller networks consisting of less than 256 IP addresses from leveraging network DDoS mitigation, said Kuperman.
Leveraging ZENEDGE Single IP protection, all organizations, regardless of the size of their networks, can be better prepared for DDoS attacks, ensuring availability while minimizing downtime and any negative impact to their brand and finances. A Preventive Approach
“ZENEDGE prevents DDoS from affecting our customers,” Kuperman told CCN. “So while the event is ongoing, our clients remain up, and their business continues to run unimpeded. Usually, within a short period of time, the attacker recognizes that there is no impact from their launched DDoS attack and they stop.”
While ZENEDGE does not currently have any blockchain customers, Kuperman has followed the DDoS attacks on bitcoin exchanges, and he believes ZENEDGE could prevent such attacks.
“We have been following these attacks closely,” Kuperman said. “Many of these bitcoin providers are located in China , which makes mitigation somewhat challenging as attacks often originate from China and Russia as well. Attacks against bitcoin exchanges are designed to drive up the price of bitcoin, and these attacks are performed to game the market.” DDoS Attacks Vary
“Attacks also range from low-level infrastructure attacks to higher level application attacks which are often the […]
