Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are only becoming more common and sophisticated as years progress, making it crucial for businesses to reevaluate their security posture. In 2022, the average DDoS attack size was 1.2 terabits per second, up from 620 gigabits per second in 2021. As for the growth of annual attacks, the number of DDoS attacks increased by 31% from 2021 to 2022.

DDoS attacks can cause a range of devastating impacts on businesses, including outages, data loss, and financial losses. In some cases, DDoS attacks have even led to businesses being forced to shut down. Fortunately, Check Point is introducing a next-generation security solution that integrates top-notch threat performance and DDoS protection services, enabling the prevention of damaging attacks before they inflict harm.

The Quantum DDoS Protector X Series, powered by Radware, brings to market a powerful combination of advanced mitigation platforms with cutting-edge management, security operations, and orchestration system called the Quantum Protector Cyber Controller. This next-generation solution offers a powerful combination of industry-leading performance and DDoS protection, as well as enriched usability and visibility to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. These attacks include IoT-based, Burst, DNS and TLS/SSL attacks, ransom DDoS campaigns, IoT botnets, phantom floods, and more. Built-in automated protection algorithms mitigate encrypted attacks, DNS floods, and application-layer (L7) DDoS attacks in real-time. With the Quantum Protector Cyber Controller, service providers gain flexibility in deployment options (inline, out-of-path (OOP), 1-tier and 2-tier mitigation) and a great degree of automation, orchestration, and visibility tailored to their specific needs and constraints. This considerably reduces operational overhead and overall costs. The Cyber Controller is a central component in Check Point’s DDoS infrastructure protection solution, enabling a holistic solution for distributed infrastructure protection.

“Security teams are dealing with an increasingly complex threat landscape, more complicated network infrastructures, and new reporting regulations that demand more advanced DDoS protection solutions. And they are battling these challenges with a shrinking pool of experienced security talent,” said Gabi Malka, Radware’s chief operating officer. “Together with Check Point Software, we are providing Industry-leading speed, scalability, automation, and usability in the DDoS Protector X Series.”

The DDoS Protector X Series is the ideal solution to satisfy the needs of medium-sized business, enterprises, and Tier-1 service providers/carriers, delivering up to 800Gbps mitigation capacity and up to 1.2 billion packets per second attack prevention rate. This makes it the fastest and most scalable mitigation platform on the market today. Please see Figure A to see the entire lineup of new appliances and product specifications.

The following are a few key highlights from this announcement:

• A new software architecture and dedicated hardware delivering a 2x-3x increase in DDoS mitigation performance without compromising the user experience for genuine users.
• The latest cyber technologies with modular bypass network interfaces and highest port density, including 40G, 100G, and the industry’s first 400G interfaces.
• Enhanced protection, quality, and performance for encrypted attacks with full hardware-based support for TLS 1.3 inspection.
• Robust peacetime and detailed attack-time analytics that provide deep insights into network behavior and anomalies in real time.
• Next-generation security operation dashboards — with attack information and mitigation actions in a single windowpane — to enable faster and more intuitive loop-closure between attacks, active mitigations, and mitigation refinement.
• Simplified management and configuration, creating a seamless experience for both out-of-path and inline protection solutions.

Businesses that are not well-prepared for a DDoS attack are at risk of significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even business interruption. If you are concerned and would like to take the proper steps for providing a secure environment for your business or businesses, then you should consider investing in the right DDoS security solution – Quantum DDoS Protector X.
