With the increase in sophistication, intensity and frequency of DDoS attacks, enterprises are realizing that cloud DDoS scrubbing is a good option, but not a panacea by itself. A hybrid approach delivers the best protection. Cloud scrubbing is most effective when attack volume grows beyond the capacity of an enterprise’s internet pipe.
Enterprises can complement their cloud solutions with the surgical precision and context-aware controls offered by A10’s on-premise DDoS defenses. These defenses protect users and applications from more frequent, smaller, and sophisticated attacks with alwayson and instant protection. These attacks can overwhelm resources on applications, services and security equipment, and distract IT staff from real attacks that are happening. These attacks result in application downtime, wasted IT resources and security overspend, and should not be permitted to enter and disrupt the enterprise network.
