Protective measures are essential to prevent such attacks from impacting business operations. These stop the attack before your infrastructure is affected.
As processes become increasingly digitised, customer contact is also primarily managed over digital channels. In view of this, business continuity of the IT infrastructure and defence against cyber attacks are becoming increasingly important for regular business operations. With a DDoS Protection Service, you can mitigate the risk of this attack vector.
There are two versions of DDoS Protection. These differ in terms of the scope of network layers protected.
Swisscom Business Internet access is protected against common attacks such as a SYN/ping flood or UDP amplification. The Enhanced option also mitigates HTTP(S) attacks. Internet access and connected systems remain available and customer communication is ensured
An ongoing DDoS attack is mitigated immediately due to predefined rules. This means that no valuable time is lost on the response and availability is ensured. The rules can be defined based on individual needs.
For companies without their own Security Operations Center (SOC), Swisscom can, as an additional service, assume responsibility for the monitoring and alerting of DDoS attacks.
A company wants to respond to DDoS attacks independently and as quickly as possible. A Swisscom specialist provides the security experts with training on defensive measures based on effective configuration of the Internet connection.
