Re: DDoS protection

Well every vendor of egress technology (firewall or load balancer) offers a f=
orm of protection In some way.=20

I would also argue that your using "cloud protection" by using your ISP.=20

It's a risk evaluation vs threat possibility discussion here. What is the co=
st to your business in terms of effect if your offline due to a attack. What=
 is the realistic likelihood of you getting attacked?

If your amazon for example - downtime equals immediate lost revenue and publ=
ic trust of enterprise quality, that means long term revenue. People also wo=
uld be more inclined to "hold random" amazon for a mass attack.=20

If your a provider of garage doors and  your website is contact info and a c=
atalog only. Will it matter if your offline for a day? Who cares to attack y=
ou?

Also note that you can't prevent large scale ddos - if it's large enough no "=
appliance" model will save you. And a distributed model might even be taken o=
ut.=20

You actually will be more cost effective and technically easier to use cloud=
 biased concepts (beyond your ISP) so if your serious it's a poor argument t=
o scuff them off (I am assuming your a single site smaller organization) =20=
