“Lumen Technologies’ DDoS Hyper stands out in the DDoS mitigation market for its self-service feature, emergency turn-up in minutes, and the extensive protection capabilities of Lumen’s DDoS Mitigation service.”
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
October 10, 2022
CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, products and services in the global information security market, today announced that it has selected Lumen Technologies as winner of the “Overall Network Security Solution Provider of the Year” award in the 6th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program.
The 2022 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award recognizes the breakthrough innovation of Lumen solutions such as Lumen® DDoS Hyper® solution that enables clients to turn up Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services via a self-service, online portal in as little as 15 minutes. Lumen Technologies is the only DDoS mitigation provider to offer a self-service option for emergency DDoS mitigation. Importantly, the service is carrier-agnostic.
Lumen owns and operates approximately 400,000 fiber-route miles serving customers in more than 60 countries. This enables the company to offer an extensive and deeply peered global network that acts as a first line of defense. For businesses that use Lumen for their networking needs, DDoS countermeasures are integrated directly into the network to stop attacks closer to the source at a massive scale afforded by the size of the network.
Lumen DDoS Hyper is available in a self-service marketplace so that it’s easy to quote, order and configure, which is particularly important for companies that are already experiencing a DDoS attack.
Additionally, Lumen DDoS mitigation offers Always-On service, which always routes all traffic through a scrubbing center, or On-Demand service, in which traffic is proactively and automatically routed through a scrubbing center if an attack is detected. As customers deploy new applications in new environments, they control the additions and changes to their sites, tunnels, protected IP space, and applications through a fully automated, digital experience that’s backed by Lumen’s 24/7, globally distributed Security Operations Centers.
“It is an honor to be recognized by CyberSecurity Breakthrough for the hard work and innovation we put into all our security solutions,” said Beth Kohler, senior director of security product management at Lumen. Any company can be the target of a large attack at any time, but with Lumen DDoS Hyper, they can turn up service and block an attack in as little as 15 minutes, even if Lumen is not their internet provider. Cybercriminals are constantly changing their tactics; we will continually fight back with new, creative ways to stop them.”
Additionally, High-fidelity threat intelligence from Black Lotus Labs®, Lumen’s in-house threat research team, drives botnet takedowns and powers Rapid Threat Defense. This capability provides automated detection of bots and reflective surfaces used for DDoS attacks, feeds that information in near real-time into the Lumen attack mitigation platform, and reduces attack detection and mitigation time for protected applications.
With Lumen’s next-generation intelligent routing technology, excess traffic is sent to super or regional scrubbing centers to help reduce collateral damage during attacks. Lastly, Lumen DDoS mitigation services provide proactive monitoring and alerting using Black Lotus Labs threat intelligence and NetFlow directly from the customer’s edge routers, or from Lumen network edge routers if Lumen is the internet provider.
“Many companies don’t have DDoS protection in place that they can rely on which puts them in a truly precarious position if they find themselves under attack,” said James Johnson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Lumen Technologies’ DDoS Hyper stands out in the DDoS mitigation market for its self-service feature, emergency turn-up in minutes, and the extensive protection capabilities of Lumen’s DDoS Mitigation service. Congratulations on being our choice for ‘Overall Network Security Solution Provider of the Year.’”
