or application assaults against their critical applications and services .
A10 One-DDoS Protection is available on A10 Thunder ADC ( application delivery controller ), CGN ( carrier grade networking ) and CFW ( converged firewall ) product lines with orchestrated attack scrubbing on Thunder TPS ( threat protection system ), providing a layered approach for full-spectrum volumetric , network and application DDoS protection . Tactics for DDoS attacks are moving beyond just using request floods designed to bombard and overwhelm infrastructure to include low-bandwidth attacks that target the network or application layer of service provider services and their subscribers .

Legacy DDoS defences also require frontline operators to have extensive knowledge about downstream subscribers and the internally offered services that are exposed to DDoS threats .
In an increasingly dynamic IT environment , this can be an expensive and unsustainable practice and it is further exacerbated by a shortage of skilled personnel .
In contrast , the A10 Networks One- DDoS Protection solution utilises machine learning to automatically learn about and understand downstream infrastructure and their services , creating a highly scalable , cost-effective model for serving customers .

These ‘ low and slow ’ tactics are generally not detected until well into the attack progression and often enable threat actors to successfully disrupt the targeted service .
A recent Verisign report estimated that 82 % of DDoS attacks in quarter four of 2017 were multi-vector as opposed to using a single vector of attack .
At the same time , volumetric attacks are becoming larger , exceeding peaks 1.7 terabits per second . Service providers must move beyond just flow detection to be able to detect and defend against all types of attacks .
“ The DDoS landscape has changed and continues to evolve in potency and sophistication ,” said Raj Jalan , CTO , A10 Networks . “ The A10 Networks One-DDoS Protection enables service providers to defend against a full range of attacks with an integrated fabric of protection to help deny attackers the ability to disrupt or penetrate networks .”
In addition to ensuring uptime and protecting customers , service providers are looking for ways to monetise DDoS defence investments by providing clean pipe services to their business customers . These services require

The distributed detection also helps organisations achieve the common goal of protecting services while overcoming organisational silo ownership issues . granular controls for each individual business subscriber and must scale to tens of thousands , and in some cases millions , of businesses . To scale these legacy systems , service providers must purchase expensive and complex arrays of appliances .
Unlike legacy approaches , the A10 Networks One-DDoS Protection solution scales to hundreds of thousands of monitored entities out-of-the-box from a single appliance .

The distributed detection also helps organisations achieve the common goal of protecting services while overcoming organisational silo ownership issues . For example , the application teams and CGN teams may continue to provision and manage their ADC and CGNAT systems as usual without needing any training on DDoS attacks and mitigation procedures .
A10 One-DDoS Protection works transparently in the background enabling automatic signalling of identified DDoS attacks and intelligent invocation of DDoS defence when needed .
The DDoS defence system and protection policies remain under the ownership of the security team where the required DDoS expertise and up-todate knowledge already reside .
Founded in Founded in 2004 , A10 Networks is based in San Jose , California and serves customers in more than 80 countries with offices worldwide .
The company provides a portfolio of highperformance secure application solutions that enable intelligent automation with machine learning to ensure business critical applications are protected , reliable and always available . u
