DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is a malicious attempt to disrupt the regular traffic of a target server, service, or network by overloading the target or its surrounding infrastructure with packets or Internet traffic.
A DDoS attack makes your Internet connection unstable, or in the case of a DDoS attack on a website, it can slow down the response time of that website, rendering it inoperable.
DDoS cyberattacks have increased by more than 270 percent since 2019, putting businesses and organizations at risk. The total number of DDoS attacks is expected to exceed 15 million by 2023.
Therefore, to better prepare itself and its services, Hydro One Telecom has announced the introduction of its DDoS Shield, an always-on security solution that provides automatic defense against DDoS cyberattacks.
“Our journey to transform Hydro One Telecom from a connectivity provider to a full-service information communications technology solutions provider continues with the launch of the DDoS Shield,” says John Papadakis, President and CEO of Hydro One Telecom, in a Press release. “This important service is part of our complete suite of solutions that help protect customer data and mitigate risk in an ever-evolving and interconnected world.”
DDoS Shield is available as an add-on option to Hydro One Telecom’s Internet service and provides automatic DDoS security that identifies and blocks malicious traffic or packets, allowing organizations or households to continue operating without interruption.
