The Growing Need for DDoS Detection and Protection

Aided by a growing number of "botnets" and increased criminal sophistication, DDoS attacks against online businesses and applications are becoming larger and more frequent, making it extremely difficult for IT organizations to keep pace. Traditional solutions no longer provide sufficient protection from most DDoS attacks. Given the potential risks to revenue and reputation from application or system downtime, it's critical your business continuity strategy include an effective DDoS mitigation solution.
