2022: Service Upgrade

AKADO on September 7, 2022 announced the modernization of the DDoS attack protection service, making the service fully automated and adding functionality. The cloud solution prevents almost all types of DDoS attacks, and also detects and blocks bots - special software for performing repeated tasks of the same type, which attackers can use for their own purposes.

The service protects network infrastructure, data links and Internet sites, including an unlimited number of domains. The solution quickly clears incoming and outgoing traffic using a geographically distributed filtering network, which ensures uninterrupted traffic processing. A set of algorithms, such as statistical and behavioral analysis, machine learning helps to identify bots - with their help, attackers can organize DDoS attacks. In particular, even single requests of bots are blocked, which are used to unauthorized collection of information and hacking of the database. Thanks to cloud technologies, AKADO users save on the installation and maintenance of relevant equipment, as well as on staff maintenance. In addition, customers can quickly increase the processing power of the DDoS protection system, if necessary. One of the features of the upgraded solution is the configuration of traffic filtering for client requests.

We follow trends in cybersecurity, note an increase in the number of DDoS attacks, their high power, and see how much business is interested in effectively protecting its resources. Therefore, we brought to the market one of the services that provides reliable protection against DDoS 24/7 without unnecessary financial costs, - said Alexey Lapshin, director of sales of services and services at AKADO.

2019: Launch of DDoS Protection Solution

On November 27, 2019, the company AKADO Telecom"" announced the commissioning of a multi-tender architectural solution for protection against DDoS-attacks Russian developers with a capacity of 200 Gbps.

The solution allows you to detect and block traffic DDoS-attacks at levels from L3 to L7 using the OSI network model with a performance of 297 million packets per second. Supported modes of protection against DDoS attacks with continuous cleaning of traffic of especially critical client services or with redirection of traffic to the cleaning system by the fact of detection of an attack.

AKADO Telecom provides customers with the opportunity not only to connect the service, but also, if necessary, independently configure the policy and countermeasures of protection, determine the configuration of detection parameters, and manage notifications.

To identify legitimate traffic, users can integrate their own security systems with the ACO security platform. REST API is also available for interaction with the Subscriber's Personal Account, namely: obtaining statistics, loading temporary "white" and "black" lists, controlling detection and filters.

This solution announces filtering rules for border routers using the BGP Flowspec protocol - this allows you to reduce the load on the external perimeters of the ACO network and resist powerful attacks over 200 Gbps.

The service of protection against DDoS attacks using a domestic solution is designed for commercial customers, government customers and representatives of the gaming industry thanks to the implementation of special mechanisms to counter cyber threats. AKADO plans to further increase the performance of the multi-vendor solution and improve development procedures.
