Nexusguard, a provider of distributed denial of service (DDoS) security solutions, has introduced Nexusguard AI, a DDoS solution with automated route engineering powered by software-defined networking (SDN).
The solution gives Internet service providers (ISPs) and partners the ability to deliver software-defined networking (SDN) and integrated uptime protection for their customers. With Nexusguard AI, ISPs and channel partners can provide individual and customized protection for customers, without worry of collateral damage or increased latency in the midst of multiple DDoS attacks.
In the past, ISPs had to rely on their own resources to combat DDoS attacks by setting up appliances and building their own in-house DDoS mitigation solutions and a one-size-fits-all approach. For many ISPs, DDoS mitigation had even become a liability to networks, and customers that did not fit into the set defense method resulted in dropped traffic from null-routing. With Nexusguard AI and Service Provider Enablement, states the company, service providers can deliver scalable, automated orchestration and traffic shifting en-masse to customers in real-time.
“Pairing SDN with DDoS gives service providers a significant advantage in the market, providing an automated solution to help manage multiple customers and evolving threats,” says Bill Barry, executive vice president of global strategy at Nexusguard. “Nexusguard AI delivers the optimization in route engineering that can simplify DDoS mitigation and eliminate the overages and collateral damage that ISPs worry about while empowering our partners with a significant differentiator.”
Nexusguard AI has been integrated into all Nexusguard services. To learn more about Nexusguard AI and services, contact AI@nexusguard.com.
