Submission + - Experience handling DDoS attacks on a mid-tier site?
caboosesw writes: A customer of mine recently was hit by a quick and massive DDoS attack. As we were in the middle of things, we learned that there are proxy services of varying maturity to deal with these kinds of outbreaks from the small and mysterious (DOSArrest, ServerOrigin, BlackLotus, DDOSProtection, CloudFlare, etc.)) to the large and mature (Prolexic, Verisign, etc.)
Have you guys used any of these services ... especially on the lower price point that a small e-Commerce (not pr0n or gambling ...) company could afford?
Is a DDoS service really mandatory as Gartner now puts this type of service in the same tier as SEIM, firewalls, IPS, etc?
