Planeetta Internet Oy Deploys IntruGuard Devices.
2006-10-25, HostMan.biz IntruGuard Devices, Inc., a provider of distributed denial of service (DDoS) Firewall security appliances, recently announced that Planeetta Internet Oy, a European based Web Hosting provider with over 5000 customers, has implemented IntruGuard's IG200 DDoS Firewall solution. After reviewing their current signature based Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and evaluating several other IPS solutions available on the market, Planeetta selected the IG200 to protect its customer maintained servers and network operation center (NOC) from a growing threat of DDoS attacks, protocol anomaly based hacking, scans and other zero-day exploits. Such network floods were occurring on a monthly basis and with only a narrow based DDoS attack on just one customer; connectivity to other accounts was hampered. The existing IPS device was overtaken with flood traffic and failed. Prior to the IntruGuard deployment, Planeetta took a painstaking effort with their Internet Service Provider to determine all sources of attack and instituted ACLs to block the assault. This method took many hours to bring the attack under control. “Compared to other solutions available on the market, the IG200 was the clear choice because of its split-second automated response, full duplex Fast Ethernet throughput, software upgrade capability to gigabit throughput, and ease of administration and monitoring,” said Lauri Pitkanen, the Chief Security Officer and Co-founder at Planeetta. “The ability to create virtual protection zones using the Virtual Identifier (VID) feature in the IG200 was extremely powerful and allowed us to separate our operations center from customer servers. We use the IG200 to block denial of service network floods targeting an individual customer where such an attack affects all customers. Since its installation, the IG200 has successfully thwarted several attacks and helped us trace the source of each.” Ashok Jain, CEO of IntruGuard Devices, Inc., added, "Web Hosting has to go on un-interrupted. Companies like Planeetta, that understand the value of their customers’ trust, are quickly realizing the IG product family can help them keep their wide-ranging services on-line at all times and maintain mandatory service level agreements." |
