Industry
Dakota Carrier Network (DCN) is a consortium of 13 independent broadband companies in North Dakota. They deliver crucial network services to state and local governments, along with commercial entities such as banks and energy companies. Their fiber footprint spans 65,000 miles.
Challenges
DCN was faced with the task of defending against frequent and sophisticated DDoS attacks. They needed a rapid, automated solution that provided large-scale protection and allowed customers to view their network traffic. This would enable customers to adjust their DDoS mitigation policies and manage reporting effectively.
Solution
Corero provided a multi-edge, multi-terabit detect-and-redirect DDoS protection system. This solution analyzes incoming traffic through sample packet mirroring. Any traffic needing redirection is sent via BGP to the scrubbers, resulting in clean, secure data.
Now, DCN can offer DDoS protection as a service to their customers. This extends cybersecurity across the region’s broadband networks and boosts DCN’s ROI.
