htp GmbH in Hannover Chooses Real-Time DDoS Protection from Corero Network Security

Automated DDoS Defense unmasks previously
‘hidden’ DDoS attacks, prevents server outages and downtime and
secures the entire infrastructure
htp GmbH, a leading regional service provider based in Hannover,
Germany has selected the SmartWall® Threat Defense System (TDS)
from the leading supplier of real-time DDoS attack mitigation
technology, Corero Network Security (LSE: CNS). Across the
industry, increasing numbers of enterprise customers are demanding
more proactive and sophisticated DDoS protection from their
Internet Providers in response to evolving attack techniques. In
order to address this demand, htp GmbH has implemented automatic
DDoS protection technology from Corero, which has been deemed
“unparalleled.“
htp sought the Corero solution to mitigate against the DDoS
attacks they were experiencing almost daily. The company had
previously used static filters to defend against attacks, which
allowed a successful attack to keep one of the carrier’s central
systems unavailable for an extended period of time.
Robert Remenyi, responsible for planning the internet backbone
for htp GmbH, explained how the Corero TDS has allowed them to
identify smaller, sub-saturating DDoS attacks on the company’s
network. "Around two years ago, we started to examine the peaks of
our bandwidth spikes. With FlowAccounting, we have the ability to
analyze conspicuous swings, confirming our suspicions. These spikes
in bandwidth utilization have actually been DDoS attacks, and they
were generally UDP (user datagram protocol) amplification
attacks.”
In order to ensure that the solution could be implemented in the
desired manner, a proof of concept process was put in place. Three
vendors were selected to participate in this decisive phase.
According to Robert Remenyi, “Our objective was to maintain
system and service availability in the face of a DDoS attack with
the assistance of the new technology. The system should impact
htp’s networking processes as little as possible and above all, we
didn’t want to have to keep implementing changes along the way.
Today, with the Corero SmartWall TDS solution deployed in-line, we
are protecting all transit connections and thereby the entire
infrastructure behind it in a very convenient way. The solution is
unparalleled with regard to sophisticated and automated protection
from DDoS attacks. It is extremely easy to manage when in operation
and the intuitive user interface additionally simplifies
handling.”
With the deployment of the Corero SmartWall TDS across the
network, htp has achieved effective protection from all volumetric,
application layer and multi-vector attacks; even those lasting less
than five minutes, and utilizing only a small amount of
bandwidth.
Dave Larson, Corero CTO and COO, said, “Internet Service
Providers can now, more than ever before, take advantage of
real-time DDoS mitigation to protect their own network
infrastructure, and those of their customers. htp is a real-world
example of how providers can re-think their DDoS mitigation process
and eliminate this threat altogether.“
