Juniper Networks and VeriSign have teamed up to offer a hybrid DDoS protection solution, the companies announced this week. The offering will be a hybrid in the sense that it protects against both high-volume DDoS attacks and targeted application-layer attacks, as well as in the more usual sense of being both on-premises and in the cloud.
Network and application-layer protection comes in the form of Juniper’s DDoS Secure, while VeriSign’s DDoS Protection Service defends from the cloud.
The solution monitors protected applications and adjusts its traffic identification and filtration based on application response and performance.
Mitigation response also adapts, with open source standards of communication between the different parts of the solution. The companies are also committed to automating integration between increasingly heterogeneous networks.
“In today’s network-dependent world, DDoS solutions must be able to detect and mitigate zero day threats and large-scale attacks to help businesses of all types and sizes stay secure, stable and available,” said Sean Leach, vice president of technology at VeriSign. “Our hybrid approach makes this possible by helping to ensure immediate mitigation on-premise with Juniper and in the cloud with Verisign, thereby quickly addressing attacks while also providing the extra bandwidth needed for mitigation as those attacks ramp up.”
A recent threat report from Black Lotus noted the growth of attacks over 100Gbps, highlighting the importance of the ability to scale mitigation efforts quickly. Also in January an Arbor Networks report noted application-level attacks on nearly every survey respondent over the past year.
Clearly organizations with diverse networks need diverse threat protection. The success of this new offering will partly hinge on whether it allows companies to avoid trade-offs in cost and performance as Juniper and VeriSign claim.

Drake recently announced that he would be renouncing his role as CEO for Lewandowski so that it could focus its efforts on the technology of the company as technical director of conduct.
Drake began as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division of the army American and, wounded, built some of the first display for military systems, before the internet was really the internet as we know it. "I'm an engineer at heart," says Drake. "When the opportunity presented itself to launch FireHost, I have therefore been very curved application..."I've been a developer. »However, as the company began to grow, he began to find that the realities of managing a growing company have been diverted his attention from development. "As FireHost has continued to increase, I started to become other things, PAHO, and finance and human resources and sales and marketing and all the other functions that exist. '' I enjoyed their learning, but it wasn't my sweet spot. I've struggled with balancing my time between the development of the company... to do the things I like the most, what is product development and innovation. »
Construction of a scaffold for a growing businessIn the course of the last year and a half, the Board of Directors of FireHost is built on a "scaffolding" in the form Executive recruits helping Drake discharge of responsibilities and spend more time on the development of products.
Jim LewandowskiLast year, Lewandowski joined the FireHost Council and has gotten more involved in the company before it became apparent that it would be a prime candidate to lead the company as CEO. "" He knew all the things really although I'm over weak in, "says Drake."
Lie powers Lewandowski in the field of management of technology companies, but it also has a strong technical background which allows it to communicate with the team. "Engineers have a way to solve problems creatively," says Drake. "It has little tech creative engineer learning mode which is in the same way that I work."At the beginning of his career, Lewandowski has worked in the offshore oil industry, design capable of withstanding high pressure oil well heads. It turned out that the closing mechanisms, he developed high temperature and highly corrosive environments found in deep, offshore oil wells were considered as a solution to certain problems that have led to the disaster of the space shuttle Challenger 1986.
Later, Lewandowski joined IBM where he held a variety of management roles sales and more than ten years that have special competence to communicate in the language that engineers understand. He went to work at BMC Software, committed to Yahoo! by Jerry Yang, and have a role to McAfee and Rackspace.After all these experiences, Lewandowski said he is very happy to be at FireHost, a company which he regarded as a leader in a field growing. "The market that we are - security and cloud - is a very large market, and I think it will become still more important over time." It notes that stories of hacking and other incidents of security in the news are helping people understand how security affects their lives.
"FireHost is a rather remarkable company," he said. «There is a high technology and perhaps even better technology is environment and philosophy Chris has built this company autour.»Security taken to market
Now, with the post of CEO behind him, Drake has two main objectives: evangelizing the security and the creation of new products for its customers.
Chris Drake
Drake will also concentrate on the understanding of what large companies see as their major challenges for the security and development of products to meet their needs. This goes hand in hand with the fact this FireHost visitors are increasingly large companies, rather than SMEs, causing revenue per customer to triple over the past two years. Instead of waiting for visitors to find FireHost, Drake to reach more potential customers.
This effort will be complemented by a R & D budget recently doubled over the next 12 months and the experience of Jim in go-to-market strategies.Lewandowski said, "Chris and I complement each other, our skills complement each other very well. '' I like to think I'm good for the things that he is not as good, and it is much better technology and vision and those things that I am. »
