Corero Threat Defense System Enables ISP to Offer Secure Internet

Corero Threat Defense System Enables ISP to Offer Secure Internet

Corero Network Security, a leading provider of First Line of Defense® security solutions, has found that the inability of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to offer secure Internet services is contributing to continued exploits of OpenSSL and Network Time Protocol (NTP) for cyber attacks. 

  

Corero has recently introduced its SmartWall Threat Defense System (TDS) that enables service providers of all types to deliver always on threat protection and visibility as a security service to their customers. The new solution protects enterprise customers from having malicious traffic intercepted before it hits their important online infrastructure, leaving them free to focus on delivering innovative and profitable new services to their customers.

Corero suggests that security minded ISPs share the responsibility for protecting against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and cyber threats by mitigating obvious attack traffic before it reaches their corporate customers’ networks. According to Sorero, one of the greatest security risks companies face is connecting their essential business infrastructures and applications to raw, unsecured Internet feeds

These attacks are most certainly just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ever-present threat of damaging Internet exploits. Ubiquitous-access and Net-neutrality do not constitute a justification for not discriminating between good and bad traffic. It is time for a cyber revolution. Instead of taking an ‘every man for himself’ approach to battling cyber attacks, Internet Service Providers need to step forward and deliver protected Internet services that remove the known malicious traffic before it impacts their enterprise customers. Many organizations understand the value that their ISPs could provide – beyond simply delivering bandwidth – and are willing to pay a fair price for the benefit of having known bad traffic removed from their business critical Internet feeds.”
