1) Get 'Cisco guard' , too expensive ? 2) Get Arbor, Stealthflow, Esphion, too expensive ?
Good advice when DDOS' are constant. If this was a first and possibly last for awhile, it may make sense to rely on the software tools and a good 'SOP' with the provider instead. It really depends on the scope of the problem in particular. DDOS' is rather infrequent to zero for most enterprises. That DDOS golden banana is rather yummy with sprinkles on top. Don't get me wrong, the DDOS problem is real, but not for everyone, and not as frequently as it's being hyped up to be. A managed service is a better way to go if they're worried, IMO. [ SNIP ]
