Hybrid solution uses SDN, cloud mitigation approach for real-time cybersecurity
Huawei and Nexusguard launches a new hybrid solution that gives enterprises and Internet Service Providers state-of-the-art DDoS protection using SDN and cloud mitigation.
The companies will combine Nexusguard’s cloud-enabled Origin Protection and Huawei’s DDoS Protection System Appliances, ensuring customers that demand low latency and multi-layered protection can accurately and quickly defend their systems with hybrid implementations. In the past, differing customer sizes and requirements meant different ISPs had to set up appliances and build their own DDoS mitigation solutions from the ground up. For service providers overwhelmed by DDoS attack traffic, Nexusguard’s Hybrid Cloud approach will mitigate smaller attacks locally with on-premise appliances, which will be followed by failover to the cloud once inbound traffic exceeds the local network capacity to handle tomorrow’s cyberattacks at any size.
“Businesses look for advantages in technology that can support real-time traffic monitoring and protection with low latency, which is where we believe SDN will be the ultimate model for technology and solution providers in the future,” said Liu Lizhu, general manager of the Firewall and Gateway Domain at Huawei. “With Nexusguard’s purpose-built cloud DDoS mitigation expertise and our on-premise appliance protection, we can ensure customers enjoy the lowest latency and the quickest recovery from cyberattacks with a hybrid approach.”
Jolene Lee, CEO of Nexusguard said, “Nexusguard’s partnership with Huawei to combine on-premises appliances and cloud networking aligns with our customers’ goals to grow their businesses and ensure uptime, regardless of attacks from hackers at home or abroad. The approach keeps customers protected with multi-layered cybersecurity for smaller, local attacks as well leveraging the cloud for larger attacks as needed.”
