Mitigate attacks with DDoS Protection

DDoS Protection for continuous availability

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks over­­load the infrastruc­ture, crippling communi­­cation with your company.

Protective measures are essential to prevent such attacks from impacting business operations. These stop the attack before your infrastructure is affected.

DDoS Protection as a risk management measure

Due to the high number of DDoS attacks (in 2021, more than 150 DDoS attacks were recorded per day in Switzerland), this type of cyber attack must be included in any risk analysis. The protection of intangible goods, such as data, networks and the infrastructures of websites and online shops, is increasingly falling within the scope of risk management. Effective DDoS Protection helps to mitigate the risk of such an attack and thus improve protection.

When is it the right solution?

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.

The availability of business applications is of central importance for com­muni­cation with customers. You also need to protect the infrastructure from cyber threats such as DDoS attacks to prevent loss of revenue and damage to your reputation. To do this, you need a service that mitigates DDoS attacks before they impact your infra­structure. You can then safeguard the continued operation of dynamic applications, such as the online shop, e-banking or the interface to the ERP.
