MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GTT
Communications, Inc. (NYSE: GTT), a leading global cloud networking
provider to multinational clients, announced today that Performive,
a leading managed multi-cloud provider serving the midmarket, has
selected GTT DDoS Mitigation Service to enhance the security
capabilities of its network to protect against DDoS (distributed
denial of service) attacks. GTT currently provides IP transit
services to Performive, ranging in speed from 10 to 100 Gbps, that
connect cloud and data center facilities in 16 cities in
North America and
Europe.
GTT's always-on, proactive DDoS mitigation service, which
leverages Corero Network Security's next generation DDoS platform
technology, coupled with GTT's global Tier 1 internet network,
operates within the network core to detect and filter out malicious
traffic and complex threats in real time for automated redirecting
to regional-based scrubbing facilities. In parallel, legitimate
traffic is able to pass through uninterrupted, resulting in
optimized low latency network performance. As a global Tier 1
internet service provider, GTT reinforces its DDoS mitigation
capabilities with threat intelligence techniques that constantly
monitor the larger internet for the latest DDoS tactics and
emerging attacks, assuring comprehensive protection of the network
perimeter.
Industry estimates indicate that DDoS attacks ranging in
size from 10 to 100 Gbps increased by 50% in 2020. The average cost
of a DDoS attack is approximately $218,000, which amounts to $10 billion in the
United States in one year.
"The ability of GTT's DDoS Mitigation solution to immediately
detect and remove malicious traffic assures the protection of our
vital data resources and continuity of our cloud operation which
rely heavily on the integrity of the network," stated Ryan DiRocco, Chief Technology Officer at
Performive. "GTT's state-of-the-art DDoS mitigation techniques,
combined with its Tier 1 internet operational experience, give us
peace of mind that our network is protected from malicious actors
and performs to the industry's highest standards."
"We are pleased to expand our long-standing partnership with
Performive with the addition of GTT's DDoS mitigation service,"
stated Rich Modica, GTT Senior Vice
President for Carrier Services. "Providing the most complete
network security protections to our clients is a priority for us as
we understand the potential business impacts from any sort of
security breach."
