Managed DDos Defense

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack can take several forms, including: Volumetric attacks, which flood a network with massive amounts of data; Protocol attacks, which exhaust the resources of a server or its networking components—such as firewalls, routing engines, or load balancers; Application layer attacks, in which the server is forced to generate responses to fraudulent client requests.

Regardless of the method, the objective is the same: to overwhelm a server with traffic until it slows down, becomes unresponsive, or crashes entirely. The ultimate goal may be to extort money from the victim, distract them from a more damaging backdoor intrusion, or to protest something that involves the victim.

DDoS mitigation services identify and filter malicious traffic before it can overwhelm your network. These services continuously distinguish between normal activity and potential attacks, helping organizations respond before disruptions occur.

LevelBlue’s DDoS protection services analyze real-time network traffic to verify whether incoming requests are legitimate. When a DDoS attack is detected, early intervention helps mitigate its impact on legitimate users. To prevent further disruption, malicious IP addresses can be blocked, or the targeted system can be temporarily isolated by filtering or halting inbound traffic.

LevelBlue’s three DDoS defense tiers—Essentials, Advanced, and Premium—deliver scalable and customizable DDoS mitigation services designed to help organizations defend against DDoS attacks of any size or complexity. Each tier aligns with different technical, operational, and budgetary needs, enabling customers to select the right level of protection and support as their requirements evolve.

• Essentials Tier: Ideal for businesses seeking foundational DDoS defense with manual mitigation and standard provisioning cycles.
  
  
• Advanced Tier: Adds automated mitigation, faster activation, and proactive reporting for organizations that require quicker response times and greater visibility.
  
  
• Premium Tier: Provides the most comprehensive protection, with advanced DDoS mitigation services, personalized technical support, and robust capabilities to defend against DDoS attacks and other evolving cyber threats.

This flexible structure allows organizations to begin with the coverage they need today and easily scale their DDoS defense as their networks and performance demands grow.

The cost of a DDoS attack can include ransom payments, charges for rebuilding and restoring your network, and/or a hit to your reputation as a trusted supplier or partner. In 2020, the average cost of a DDoS attack was placed at $40,000/hour of outage.

Based on LevelBlue's extensive experience, we can work with you to develop a DDoS defense that is tuned to your specific needs and reflects the tactics used in previous attacks. Insights include: documentation of your gateway architecture’s evolution to understand how you can implement routing changes rapidly during an attack; understanding your capability to deal with an attack; and ways to engineer network components and other resources to accommodate attack scenarios that go beyond normal, anticipate loads. With cybersecurity measures set in place and managed by one of the world’s largest integrated communications provider, you can build a foundation for your business that can help contain risk, embrace change, and elevate trust.

By having countermeasures in place, , you minimize the impacts of attacks and expedite recovery, if necessary. LevelBlue's DDoS defense adds a key layer to your overall defensive strategy, enabling you to build a foundation for your business that can help contain risk, embrace change, and elevate trust.
