Protect your organisation from internet attacks known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) - which can deliberately cause downtime to internet services and impact productivity, customer trust and satisfaction, and cause financial loss.
Organizations operate in a digital world where cyber security threats are becoming more sophisticated. In particular, distributed denial of service, or DDoS attacks, are one of the most prevalent threats to business today.
According to NetScout’s latest threat intelligence report, 5.4 million DDoS attacks were launched in the first half of 2021, an 11% increase over the same period the year before, with both the size speed and sophistication of attacks also increasing. The expectation is that 2021 will be a record-breaking year for all the wrong reasons, threatening organizations large and small across multiple industries.

So what is a DDoS attack? In a nutshell, DDoS attacks are designed to take your business offline. Using compromised computers or servers across the internet, attackers send an overwhelming volume of traffic towards a target, and if it happens to be your website or server it's a problem. As your server is flooded with traffic, it grinds to a halt. Your customers and partners can't get a foot in the door. What they'll see is a slow or unresponsive website. This is denial of service. DDoS attacks can be part of an extortion threat, or politically motivated. Perhaps it's just for annoyance, or vandalism. Whatever the motivation, when your website is closed for business, it can result in significant reputational and financial damage. That's where Telstra DDoS can help.
Telstra Denial of Service Protection gives you the confidence to help manage DDoS attacks targeting your critical online assets and websites. Using DDoS threat intelligence and automation, when a DDoS attack is detected, our security operations centre will quickly assess the threat. They'll then contact you to discuss the threat and its potential impact and make a decision in consultation with you to begin mitigating the attack.
Depending on a pre-agreed plan you'll also have the option for mitigation to happen automatically. Telstra then directs the traffic to one of our global cleaning centres, surgically removing the attack traffic and delivering legitimate traffic to where it's supposed to go. The result, your business can stay online, and the attack is neutralized.
