Compare A10 Defend Threat Control vs. Lumen DDoS Mitigation Services

A10 Defend Threat Control is a SaaS component within the A10 suite. It offers a DDoS attack map in real-time and a proactive, detailed list DDoS weapons. A10 Defend Threat control is unlike other tools that are available today, which provide convenience but at the expense of false positives or false negatives. It provides insights into attackers and victims, analytics and vectors, trends and other characteristics. This helps organizations establish a stronger security posture by providing actionable insights that block malicious IPs who can launch DDoS attacks.

The occurrence of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is on the rise, with 53 percent of organizations indicating they experience over 51 attacks monthly, an increase from 44 percent the previous year. Sectors such as Financial Services, Hosting/E-Commerce, and Government are particularly vulnerable targets. To effectively combat the increasingly advanced DDoS attacks, organizations, regardless of their Internet service provider, need high-capacity scrubbing centers that are regionally distributed, coupled with network controls to minimize latency and ensure optimal performance. To address and mitigate the impact of these traffic flood attacks that seek to incapacitate servers, applications, websites, and networks, the Lumen DDoS Mitigation Service offers a robust cloud-based solution that can absorb harmful traffic through numerous globally positioned scrubbing centers during an attack, directing only legitimate traffic to the customer's public-facing addresses. This capability allows organizations to maintain their online presence and service availability even in the face of relentless cyber threats.
