Neustar Launches Next Generation DDoS Defense Network: SiteProtect NG™

Neustar Launches Next Generation DDoS Defense Network:
SiteProtect NG™

Defense system upgraded to protect enterprises from the next
evolution of DDoS and application attacks

December 8, 2017 – SINGAPORE. – Neustar,
Inc., a
trusted, neutral provider of real-time information services, today launched SiteProtect NG™ (Next Generation), its new solution to
protect brands against DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. 

It is the latest wave of the company’s
purpose-built DDoS mitigation solution designed to meet the security
requirements of all brands, on-premise and in the cloud, to deal with the next
generation of cyber threats. This powerful upgrade adds Neustar’s state of the
art WAF (web application firewall) solution to the award-winning Neustar
SiteProtect solution to extend network protection to the application layer. A
new real-time user interface provides consolidated in-depth trend analysis and
gives brands unprecedented access to attack forensics that are not currently
available through traditional defense services.

“Years of experience and cybersecurity
engineering capabilities have gone into the development of the SiteProtect NG
defense network and operating portal,” said Barrett Lyon, Vice President,
Research and Development, Neustar Security Solutions. “Neustar is investing in
the future of DDoS defense from an architectural standpoint and sees the
expansion and closer integration of its security solutions portfolio as a long
term strategic commitment for the company.”

“Neustar’s clients have the best protection,
best user experience, broadest selection of configurations, and powerful
analytics at their disposal. DDoS attacks will continue to present brands
across the globe with significant challenges to their operational efficiency
for the foreseeable future, and our investment in mitigation solutions will
continue at pace,” added Lyon.

SiteProtect NG breaks with the tradition of
designing network protection that makes use of a high volume of small scrubbing
centers with fewer, highly fortified and highly connected locations.
SiteProtect NG network has deployed large, full scale, nodes, each with its
multi-terabit scrubbing capacity in North America, Europe, and Asia with South
America, Africa, Australia, and India slated for early 2018.

“DDoS attacks reached
unprecedented levels in 2017 and all trends Neustar is mapping indicate that
2018 is going to see the situation worsen dramatically. Cybercriminals, both
private and state funded, have the wherewithal to surgically target individual
brands, or initiate brute force attacks with the potential to cause
catastrophic damage on a global scale. For many cybersecurity professionals,
there is no respite, with attackers probing and often breaching defenses on a
daily basis,” commented Rodney Joffe, Senior Vice President and Fellow,
Neustar.

“Future proofing mitigation networks to stop
attacks before they reach their target destination will save brands billions
each year from the impact of DDoS attacks. Neustar’s R&D
spend is reflective of the very real need to continually innovate in the face
of such adversity and today protects thousands of brands from an increasingly
diverse threat landscape. SiteProtect NG is a product that leverages the latest
innovations in internet security and evolves to meet existing and future
requirements.”

Neustar is giving clients more control and
more functionality to build stronger defenses for their brands against DDoS
attacks than ever before. The SiteProtect NG mitigation network combines
innovative technologies and advancements from existing Neustar security solutions
with powerful data traffic analytics powered by machine learning data
analytics. This gives brands in-depth trend and attack analysis, leaving them
with invaluable insights, which enable them to make smarter decisions about the
configuration of their network security moving forward.
