Simple, Affordable DDoS Mitigation for ISPs
Multiple Upstreams? That's Covered.
Without limitation, ASAP automatically mitigates all detected DoS/DDoS attacks that hit an Internet Service Provider's network via ANY number of upstream connections.
Affordable Pricing? Done.
ASAP’s Standard DDoS Mitigation Plan protects an ISP’s network from potential widespread service outages resulting from an attack. Our Standard Protection makes mitigation easy and affordable by offering ISPs fixed, low monthly pricing, not based on the amount of traffic, number of edge points, or number of subscribers. For service providers who wish to provide an even higher level of service to their subscribers ASAP also offers an Advanced DDoS Mitigation Plan with advanced scrubbing capabilities.
Detailed Reporting and Bandwidth Graphing? Included.
All ASAP subscriptions include access to a Dashboard, giving you detailed attack reporting and access to bandwidth graphing for all network IPs. Also view network traffic analytics both in real-time and over historical time periods.
Denial of Service Protection for ISPs
What is a Denial of Service Attack?
Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks maliciously attempt to block or overwhelm the accessibility to the Internet of a subscriber or device. Attacks can be initiated by anyone online and will likely come from thousands, even tens of thousands, of infected IP addresses around the globe making it impossible or impractical to identify the source of the attack.
Why Should ISPs Worry About DDoS?
In order for Internet traffic to reach an ISP subscriber, all traffic must first travel through the ISP’s core and edge routers as well as its access equipment. During a DDoS attack on even a single subscriber, the amount of illegitimate incoming traffic drastically increases the risk of overwhelming the ISP’s resources and adversely affecting many or all subscribers rather than just the one being attacked. If the amount of bandwidth from an attack is greater than the ISP’s connection to the Internet, then all subscriber’s ability to access the Internet would be down or severely impaired. An ISP with tremendous bandwidth capacity can still have their edge or core routers or access equipment overloaded to the point that they can no longer provide service due to the staggering amount of connections or number of packets per second coming in. Thus, an attack against a single subscriber can disrupt service to all subscribers.
How Can the ASAP Cloud-Based Solution Help?
ASAP is a fully automated, cloud-based solution that detects an attack against a subscriber and mitigates the attack before it disrupts other ISP customers. ASAP communicates with the ISP’s routers to detect attacks, reroutes the traffic to the ASAP Cloud Service when necessary, and maintains normal traffic flow to unaffected customers. When scrubbing is enabled through ASAP's Advanced Mitigation Plan, even the affected subscriber maintains Internet functionality during an attack while the DDoS traffic is filtered out.
Compared with similar solutions, ASAP is a very affordable and a rapidly deployable solution to implement that requires no additional ISP systems to operate. ASAP was tailored specifically to provide the best DDoS protection for regional ISPs.
