Black Lotus Partners With VentraIP Group to Activate New Enterprise-Grade DDoS Protection
Provides Availability Security to Expanding Global Network
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/01/12 -- , a leader in availability security and provider of distributed denial of service () protection, today announced its partnership with , one of Australia's fastest growing providers of domain names and Web hosting services. Under the terms of the partnership, Black Lotus provides enterprise-grade DDoS protection to VentraIP's expanding global network.
VentraIP uses the Black Lotus high-performance carrier network and attack monitoring platform to mitigate DDoS attacks against clients hosted on their network. Earlier this year, VentraIP's clients experienced large-scale DDoS attacks, resulting in network degradation and site downtime. Black Lotus' DDoS mitigation services help decrease turnover and preserve site uptime, preventing lost revenue and drop-off of legitimate traffic.
"As an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and an .au Domain Administration (auDA) accredited registrar, our partnership with Black Lotus for DDoS protection is an insurance policy for our clients that gives us peace of mind," said Angelo Giuffrida, chief operating officer of VentraIP. "If an attack of this nature is being made against a client on our network, we now have a plan to mitigate it and allow our network to continue operating for the rest of our customers."
"We're seeing increasing incidents of DDoS attacks against company websites, both small and large," said Jeffrey Lyon, president of Black Lotus. "VentraIP recognizes the potential risk to its customers, and our partnership allows the company to take the necessary steps to safeguard client sites and in many cases, their companies' livelihoods."
Black Lotus offers protection against DDoS attacks that typically penetrate slowly enough to bypass other available mitigation solutions. The widely used method of DDoS attack infiltrates the network at the application layer (Layer 7) and mimics acceptable Web traffic behavior, exhausting the resources of servers and resulting in service outages. Black Lotus monitors for this kind of traffic behavior and discerns between legitimate and malicious traffic with an intelligent DDoS mitigation platform, ensuring uptime continuity.
Following Black Lotus' announcement of its technology last month, the company also recognizing its unique ability to discern between malicious botnet traffic and genuine human visitors to a website.
