Ideco UTM defended the site of the UGMU from DDoS attacks

2022: Repelling a DDoS attack

The Ideco UTM firewall protected the UGMU website from DDoS attacks. Ideco (Aydeko) announced this on June 23, 2022.

On June 20, 2022, an admission campaign to universities was launched. On the same day, there was a large-scale DDoS attack on the websites of universities. The YUUGMU website was also attacked. They tracked that in the period from 21:30 to 22:30 more than 20 thousand requests to the site occurred every second, but the work was not stopped. Pages for users were opened as usual. The Web Application Firewall module in Ideco UTM helped to protect the site from illegitimate requests. This module allows you to protect web applications published using Ideco UTM from various types of attacks (including SQLi, XSS, DoS, and others).

We once again made sure that we made the right choice. The product really protects our resources and ensures uninterrupted operation of systems.

We strive to make a simple solution to protect against all modern security threats. In 2022, the Ideco UTM security functionality was quickly adapted to the changed threat landscape. We block threats according to the list of NCCC, GeoIP (from unfriendly states), improved the ability to block DoS attacks and protect web resources. I am glad that this brought a tangible result to one of our clients, - said Dmitry Khomutov, director of Ideco .
