Challenge	Hyve, a leading UK IT service provider specializing in mission-critical cloud hosting, was looking to stand out among competitors in the large UK market. The company aimed to provide the utmost security to its customers while also ensuring continued availability through unhindered access to their systems. In today’s environment of increasingly sophisticated and common attacks, Hyve cannot deliver the performance and satisfaction its customers demand without addressing security threats that plague organizations the world over. To mitigate these risks and meet customer expectations, Hyve’s environment has multiple layers of defense, is ISO-27001 and PCI-DSS certified, and has been architected to prevent client cross-contamination if a problem does occur. Nevertheless, Hyve was still challenged by weaknesses in individual clients’ hosted environments. Being a proactive, security driven company, Hyve have looked for another line of defense to better protect the entire IT environment. Read More

Solution	Hyve evaluated two anti-DDoS products — those from RioRey and Corero. They chose Corero’s First Line of Defense as it stops all unwanted traffic at the perimeter, from DDoS to zero-day to server-targeted attacks. This made Corero much more attractive as it was a complete solution. It not only gives Hyve total DDoS protection against the volumetric and low and slow attacks but it also adds this beautiful additional protection that dramatically improves the value of the devices for customers and themselves. Using the Corero First Line of Defense, Hyve is able to protect all systems within its infrastructure. The Corero devices are installed in front of Hyve’s firewall layer, First Line of Defense filters out attack and other unwanted traffic while allowing good customer traffic to proceed.
