New DDoS protection offering launched

ServerSpace and Black Lotus have combined to offer enterprise-level distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack prevention.

The new offering incorporates human behaviour analysis, which determines if the request originated from a human, with network behaviour analysis, that detects abnormal traffic and decides if it was a result of a DDoS attack.

Managed hosting and cloud services provider ServerSpace MD Tim Pat Dufficy said small businesses have been asking for cheap DDoS protection.

"How can businesses be expected to grow when they can face a number of cyber attacks each day? Up until now they have been fighting a fire that won't go out,” Dufficy said.

Black Lotus CEO Jeffrey Lyon said the service would cost £1,000  ($A1500).
