Check Point DDoS Protector Benefits

It hasn't been very beneficial. I'm working in Croatia, which is a very small market for such type of equipment, so it hasn't had a big impact.

This solution is able to mitigate and protect against SSL attacks, which is important because this type of attack is becoming more popular among attackers, as it only requires a small number of packets to cause a denial of service for a fairly large service.

Attackers launch attacks that use SSL because each SSL session handshake consumes more resources from the server-side than from the client-side, meaning the attack has exponentially increased in size without requiring additional bots or bandwidth. As a result of these amplification effects, even a small attack can result in crippling damage

This solution is able to mitigate attacks and provides automated DDoS defense and protection from fast-moving, high volume, encrypted, or very short duration threats. This includes IoT-based attacks like Mirai, Pulse, Burst, DNS, TLS/SSL attacks, and those attacks associated with Permanent Denial of Service (PDoS) and Ransom Denial-of-Service (RDoS) techniques.

Check Point DDoS Protector has given us great security in zero-day DDOS protection. Intelligent attack mitigation also gives us the most accurate attack detection and prevention without blocking legitimate user traffic. It also provides full investment and lifetime protection in an extended platform. It is another of the key features why we adopted this technology. It offered complete protection of data center applications against emerging network threats and maintains excellent user response time even under attack.

Among the value-added actions, it allowed us to validate, learn and detect which of the requests are true or false and which come from real regions and which are being used - such as attacks on our services and our infrastructure. It gave us that value is having fewer false positives, which is based on network analysis and protection against IPS and SS, protecting applications against known or emerging attacks.

Our DataCenter environment in Taiwan serves the incoming user traffic, thus it is connected to the Internet and needs protection from DDoS attacks. Not all of the Internet Service Providers are able to provide DDoS mitigation.

For example, among the three providers we use in Taiwan, only one provides such a service. To protect the other lines, we had to implement the Check Point DDoS Protector as a hardware solution. Now, all the ISP lines are protected and we can switch the users back and forth between them with the same level of security.

Checkpoint DDoS Protection is a tool that gave us network protection in our local environments to avoid zero-day attacks and denial of services, among others, that complicated the day-to-day of our services and stopped work continuity.

This comprehensive tool validates and exploits complex vulnerabilities that other vendors fail to find and resolve to increase security.

In our country, in recent years, there have been attacks that have stopped companies for which we choose to use this tool to protect SSL/TSL.

We are really happy with the solution.

In our company, we have several applications published in Microsoft Azure in-app services. We required a tool that would help us shield business applications a little more from modern threats - including intelligent SSL attacks, and protection against zero-day attacks - preventing us from having a failure in services that would translate into economic losses for the company.

This is why Check Point perfectly matched the problem we had and helped us solve the security flaws.

It helped us a lot to mitigate and management and the company's top managers feel quite safe with Check Point.
