NTT Communications to trial enhanced DDoS Defense Orchestrator System

Aims to become Japan's first telecom to provide multihomed anti-DDoS service.

NTT Communications will trial an enhanced DDoS orchestrator system to detect, analyze and defend against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks using a testing environment constructed by multiple security companies, starting June 8. DDoS are attacks on computer networks in which a number of computers distributed among multiple networks simultaneously send connection requests to a network or group of computers to overload their channel capacity and shut them down.
The trial will test the operability of unique channel-control technology developed by NTT Com to minimize the negative effects, such as delays in normal communications, of implementing a DDoS defense. NTT Com is Japan's first communications provider to conduct a multihomed anti-DDoS service that would be available to all companies using or providing Internet services.


DDoS attacks are steadily growing in both size and number, leading to Internet congestion and significant harm to companies. Nevertheless, a large number of companies that use or provide ISP, data center or cloud services have yet to implement measures against increasingly diverse and complex DDoS attacks. The deployment of appropriate anti-DDoS services and measures is urgently required.


One factor that has inhibited deployment, however, is that companies using multiple ISPs are required to implement separate anti-DDoS measures for each ISP. This makes it difficult to centralize DDoS management and responses due to varying service quality among ISPs, as well as complicates operations and lengthens the time of implementation.
