DDoS Attack Prevention

Hackers and individuals with malicious intent commonly target corporate assets and services—including Web, e-mail, and database servers—that contain corporate information and that are used to offer e-commerce services. By overwhelming these critical applications with bogus service requests, distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks can severely disrupt business, resulting in lost communications, failed business transactions, reduced business productivity, and lower profitability.

Through an intelligent Self-Defending Network, Cisco® DDoS attack prevention solutions can

• Quickly recognize and detect DDoS attacks against networks and hosts
• Efficiently mitigate DDoS attack damage
• Identify the source of DDoS attacks
• Help maintain business transactions and productivity despite attacks

Only Cisco offers the business and technical expertise to automatically adapt to new threats and help keep DDoS attacks from disrupting business by integrating DDoS prevention capabilities into networking products and security appliances.
