Minimize the risk of falling victim to a DDoS attack
Start taking defensive measures now with Quest’s DDoS Protection services. Quest can detect and mitigate DDoS attacks of any size and kind at the network edge, closest to the source of origin. This helps ISPs and businesses ensure that the performance of legitimate traffic isn’t impacted.
Our reliable infrastructure and experienced cybersecurity team can deflect any type of attack — volumetric, protocol, or application layer. Quest’s comprehensive, always-on DDoS Protection services secure websites, applications, and entire networks so organizations can avoid becoming the victim of an attack.
How DDoS Protection services work
Quest’s DDoS Protection services protect entire Internet Protocol (IP) subnets from DDoS attacks while also accelerating network traffic. This service mitigates attacks using Quest’s global network of Service Delivery Centers to employ two fundamental networking routing and encapsulation protocols, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). All of your network assets—whether on-premises or in the cloud—are safeguarded.
Connect: Using BGP route announcements to the internet and Quest’s Anycast network, customer traffic is ingested at a Quest Service Delivery Center closest to the source, not in your data center.
Protect and Process: All customer traffic is inspected for attacks. Intelligent and automated mitigation techniques can be applied immediately after an attack is detected. Other functions, including load balancing, next-gen firewall, content caching, and serverless compute are also delivered as a service.
Accelerate: Clean traffic is routed over Quest’s network for optimal latency and throughput. Traffic can be handed-off over GRE tunnels, private network interconnects (PNI), or other forms of peering to the origin network.
Global Footprint: Quest delivers DDoS protection with integrated performance benefits using our entire network of Service Delivery Centers (SDC) across three continents. This is especially important for latency-sensitive applications like Voice over IP (VoIP) and custom online gaming protocols.
We recognized early on that we did not have the skill sets or tools to tackle a red-alert emergency. That’s why we formed our partnership with Quest.
