Forte Telecom stands as a telecommunication front-runner in Brazil, tracing its roots back to a groundbreaking merger of 15 leading ISPs in Rio de Janeiro. Now, with a reach that spans six Brazilian states, Forte Telecom brings millions of customers access to premier transit connections characterized by low latency, guaranteed bandwidth, and the industry’s highest SLA standards. On the brink of further expansion, including fresh acquisitions and the rollout of state-of-the-art FTTH services, Forte Telecom is well-positioned to maintain its status as a premier provider in the region.
Recognizing that downtime is unacceptable and that service availability is paramount, Forte Telecom deeply appreciates its customers’ trust in its ability to deliver reliable service. In response, Forte Telecom pursued a cybersecurity solution capable of offering impenetrable network protection and ensuring continuous service for its ISP clients. Confronted with the risk of destructive DDoS attacks, the company sought a solution that mitigated these threats and proactively identified them before they could begin. This approach aimed to protect both Forte Telecom’s reputation and that of its customers, preventing potential revenue loss and maintaining the highest level of security.
Forte Telecom formed strategic partnerships with Corero and Tech Enabler to tackle these challenges head-on, significantly enhancing their security measures. With the integration of Corero’s SmartWall ONE DDoS protection solution, Forte Telecom equipped itself with a robust and dependable shield against DDoS attacks, capable of identifying and neutralizing threats instantly. The innovative local scrubbing-as-a-service (LSaaS) model is crucial, ensuring seamless line-rate performance without any noticeable latency increase. This approach guarantees that legitimate traffic flows uninterrupted, maintaining optimal network integrity and customer satisfaction.
