Advanced Network Security Leader, NetZentry, Announces Additional Features for DDoS Attack Protection Software

CleanTraffic 2.7 gives users multiple ways of rerouting and redirecting DDoS attack traffic

Palo Alto, CA, September 26, 2006 --(PR.com)-- http://www.netzentry.com – netZentry, a leading developer of advanced network security and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack detection and mitigation solutions, has announced that the new release of its flagship DDoS protection software, CleanTraffic, gives its customers multiple ways of cleaning DDoS attack traffic in their data center.

With over 4,000 DDoS attacks per week and an average of $94,000 in damages due to lost productivity, NetZentry’s CleanTraffic solution is designed to detect DDoS attacks before they are able to compromise the availability of their target server or services.

"NetZentry’s updated CleanTraffic 2.7 software is extremely customizable in the way it can be configured to protect our customers,” said Chris Shaffer, Director of Network Services, 1-800-HOSTING. “We can adapt the CleanTraffic DDoS solution to integrate seamlessly with both existing and future infrastructure architectures.”

The updated version of CleanTraffic carefully tracks each attack at all stages of the attack. Once a traffic anomaly has been detected, the following steps are taken to effect mitigation:

All traffic to the targeted destination is rerouted
Customized filtering is applied and separates good traffic from attack traffic
Cleaned traffic is subsequently reinjected, through a variety of options, back to original destination through the main network

CleanTraffic 2.7 gives service providers many options as to how traffic is re-directed and re-injected into the network during and after a DDoS attack. The solution supports selective Internal Border Gateway Protocol [IBGP] based rerouting of traffic to the attacked destination from only those edge routers that see the attack. The solution also supports multiple methods of traffic re-injection including:

static route re-injection,
GRE tunneling-based re-injection, and
dynamic VRF-based re-injection.

“We are committed to working with service providers to enable them to selectively offer the best DDoS protection to their customers,” said Rangaswamy “Vasu” Vasudevan, CEO of netZentry. “Regardless of their infrastructure, we can isolate attack traffic, clean it with our filtering device, and then reinject the good traffic back into the network using our CleanTraffic system.”
