Product Brief
DDoS Protection for K-12
Help protect your school or district network from malicious volumetric attacks with fully managed distributed denial of service (DDoS) threat identification and mitigation.
Protecting K-12 systems and student data is a growing concern and a priority among many schools and districts. Cyberattacks like DDoS are designed to flood connectivity to a network, application or service so that the intended users cannot access their resources. They are initiated with the goal of halting a school or district’s network operations, accessing private student data or uncovering intellectual property. DDoS Protection is a subscription-based service designed to detect and mitigate these types of network attacks to ensure availability and protection of network assets.
DDoS Protection from Spectrum Enterprise® applies cloud-based intelligence to quickly evaluate your expected network activity and identify threats attacking your Dedicated Fiber Internet service. Attack mitigation and traffic rerouting begin automatically to help keep your resources available.
Product highlights
- Fast resolution: Quickly and automatically detect, redirect and mitigate malicious traffic, minimizing the impact of attacks.
- Adaptive evaluation: Comprehensive traffic evaluation that uses advanced analytics to identify anomalies indicating an attack, specific to traffic flow at each school or district location.
- Scalable solution: The solution can easily and seamlessly expand as your needs grow, with no bandwidth restrictions.
- Continuous support: Always available, single point of contact that connects schools or districts directly to our network and security experts for swift issue resolution.
Key features
- Automatic threat detection and proactive resolution of volumetric attacks across Dedicated Fiber Internet connections.
- Precise, school or district-specific traffic evaluation and targeted IP-address cleansing using machine learning
and artificial intelligence. - Targeted scrubbing eliminates the performance impact on non-affected traffic.
- Supported 100%, 24/7/365 by our Network Operations Center staffed by DDoS experts.
When a DDoS attack is detected by our service, traffic is routed to one of our cloud-based scrubbing centers. The traffic is then analyzed and malicious traffic is mitigated so that legitimate traffic returns to its original route and intended destination.
