What is Optus Internet DDoS Protection?
A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to overload your network and computing resources, blocking access for genuine users. While firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access control lists are great for general security, they’re not built to handle the havoc of a DDoS attack.
Optus Internet DDoS Protection, an optional feature add-on of Optus Evolve Internet, keeps your network safe by analysing your traffic, spotting potential DDoS attacks, and helping to stop them right at the edge of the Optus network.
What's included:
- Traffic sampling: We sample traffic from Optus routers.
- Traffic analysis: We analyse the traffic to your network to determine whether unusually high traffic is occurring.
- Protocol misuse identification: We identify any traffic with known protocol misuse.
- Attack traffic diversion: We divert attack traffic to Optus 'cleaners' which remove the malicious traffic.
- Clean traffic routing: We route the clean traffic back to your Optus Evolve Internet service.
- System updates: We update the system regularly with the latest attack signatures to detect and clean new volumetric attacks.
- Portal access: We provide portal access to enable you to view and manage mitigation actions.
