ISP DDoS Protection Implementation Case Study

This case study details the implementation of DDoS protection by a US-based Internet Service Provider (ISP) utilizing the Corero SmartWall ONE platform. The ISP, which offers a range of services including fiber and security, faced challenges with their previous DDoS solution that required manual intervention and consumed significant bandwidth. The ISP identified three key criteria for a new solution: hardware-based protection, scalability, and ease of use. After evaluating several vendors through demonstrations and proof of concepts, the ISP chose Corero due to its effective inline deployment, which allowed for localized solutions across multiple sites without disrupting service. The Corero platform automates DDoS detection and mitigation, significantly reducing manual operations and improving customer satisfaction. The ISP reported enhanced reliability and financial benefits, as the new system minimized bandwidth costs and streamlined operations. Overall, the case study illustrates how the Corero SmartWall ONE platform meets the evolving security needs of ISPs in a challenging threat landscape.
