Neustar Triples Global DDoS Defence Network Mitigation Capacity to more than 4 Tbps including EMEA and Singapore

Neustar Triples Global
DDoS Defence Network Mitigation Capacity to more than 4 Tbps including EMEA and
Singapore

June 1, 2017 –  STERLING, Va. – Neustar,
Inc. (NYSE: NSR), a trusted, neutral
provider of real-time information services, today announced that it
has tripled its global DDoS mitigation network capacity reaching 4 Tbps across
EMEA and Singapore. This places the company within close reach of its goal of a
10 Tbps Global DDoS Defence Network, which will be the world’s largest, most
distributed and technically advanced DDoS mitigation defence network, by early
2018.

In EMEA, Neustar has significantly expanded network
capacity with an increase of 244 percent from 320 Gbps to more than 1 Tbps
distributed across three nodes in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London alone. APAC
also has a new 200 Gbps node in Singapore, doubling the in-region capacity with
additional large nodes soon following. By Q1 2018, the Neustar Global DDoS
Defence Network will have 27 nodes distributed across all regions.

“We are changing the model from a handful of scrubbing
centres to a globally scaled distributed model. This is a big departure
from when I started the DDoS defence industry,” said Barrett Lyon, Head of
Security Research and Development. “The capacity of our network will enable
Neustar to offer unrivalled mitigation capability and network performance to
keep our customers protected against any type of DDoS attack.”

The expansion of Neustar’s global DDoS mitigation
network meets the scale and demands required to thwart modern DDoS attacks and
deliver future-proof levels of protection due to its construction design,
implementation and capacity. This fast-growing network of dedicated in-region
mitigation centres will also enable Neustar to improve traffic routing
performance for customers during attacks. With an increased number of local
detection and mitigation centres, Neustar is able to redirect traffic to local
scrubbing centres at the edge of the network, closer to the source. By
scrubbing a customer’s web traffic and
redelivering it locally rather than having to be backhauled to a scrubbing
centre that may be partway around the world, Neustar offsets latency and restores network performance more
quickly and effectively resulting in faster, more efficient
in-region mitigation and greater customer value.

“The construction of our new DDoS network with
regionalized nodes is a game-changer for our customers,” says Lyon. “We now
have the capability to meet and defeat new attacks head-on, with localized
scrubbing, so customers don’t feel the impact to their networks. What we are
building is the proper evolution and sophistication of DDoS defence and it’s
unlike anything that is available on the market today”.
