The Challenge

Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) are facing increasing challenges due to the rise in size, frequency, and complexity of DDoS attacks. These challenges include the risk of not having enough capacity to manage very large attacks, staying abreast of latest DDoS attack trends, attack vectors, attackers, attack tools and targets, the constant requirement of training network security personnel and operations staff, retaining experienced, coveted staff that is constantly lured by stiff competition, and maintaining and enhancing their DDoS attack protection infrastructure such as circuits, data centers, customer portals and attack mitigation products.

About The Customer

The customer in this case study is a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). MSSPs are companies that offer security services to other businesses. These services can include managing a company's security infrastructure, monitoring for threats, and responding to security incidents. MSSPs are often used by businesses that do not have the resources or expertise to manage their own security operations. In this case, the MSSP is looking for a solution to help them deal with the increasing challenges posed by DDoS attacks.

The Solution

Arbor Networks offers a turnkey, carrier agnostic, in-cloud and on-premises DDoS attack protection service: Arbor Cloud—DDoS Protection Service. This service is based 100% upon Arbor’s industry leading products and security experts. Arbor offers two different Arbor Cloud—DDoS Protection services for MSSPs. The first is the Excess Capacity Service, which is for existing DDoS Protection MSSPs who may need additional mitigation capacity. The second is the Resale of Arbor Cloud—DDoS Protection Service, which allows ISPs, Cloud Providers, Hosting companies or MSSPs who do not have DDoS protection services to quickly bring a new service to market by reselling the Arbor Cloud—DDoS Protection Service.
