THREAT ANALYSIS, SURGICAL MITIGATION AND SERVICE PROTECTION
Today’s Internet Service Providers (ISPs) face many security and operational challenges. For starters, consider the growing power of network attacks. Hackers can now transform legions of unsecured home computers into massive botnet armies with the firepower to disable enterprise networks and disrupt converged data and voice services. The sophistication of these attacks has grown significantly over the last few years to target complex application architectures. ISPs must detect and mitigate such network-wide threats before they impact critical business services and applications. In addition, ISPs face mounting financial challenges now that bandwidth is a low-margin commodity. In response, they must differentiate themselves by rolling out profitable, value-added services that can reduce customer churn, attract new business and increase revenue.
