BlackMesh, a Virginia-based cloud hosting company, was facing an evolving threat landscape with only a reactive DDoS prevention solution in place. Despite implementing various tools and techniques to repel attacks such as access control lists, null routing, and cache filtering, the organization still experienced service degradation and downtime that lasted between 45-60 minutes during each cyber-attack. BlackMesh needed to shift to a more proactive stance when it came to protecting its datacenter which ultimately impacts clients and business operations. In order to ensure uninterrupted availability that could negatively affect SLAs, BlackMesh needed to implement the right solution in its datacenter.

BlackMesh deployed Radware’s Attack Mitigation Solution (AMS) to protect its network segments and customer solutions against intrusions and DDoS attacks. AMS protects applications and networks against known and emerging security threats such as Internet pipe saturation, attacks on login pages, attacks behind CDNs, and SSL-based flood attacks. As a core part of Radware’s AMS, DefensePro consists of patent-protected behavioral-based real-time signatures technology that detects and mitigates emerging network attacks in real time such as zero-minute attacks and application misuse attacks – all without the need for human intervention and without blocking legitimate user traffic. To help monitor Radware devices throughout its multiple datacenters, BlackMesh implemented APSolute Vision which provides a single point of access to centrally manage its security network through an enterprise-wide view of security and attack statuses from a single console.
