NTT Communications is testing an enhanced DDoS orchestrator system to detect, analyze and defend against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The pilot system was constructed by multiple security companies, including Arbor Networks, A10 Networks, and Radware Ltd. The user organizations include EHIME CATV Inc., INTERNET MULTIFEED Co., Interop Tokyo 2015 ShowNet, mixi Inc. and OKIT CORPORATION, among others.
NTT Com said its trial will test the operability of unique channel-control technology developed by NTT Com to minimize the negative effects, such as delays in normal communications, of implementing a DDoS defense. The testing environment incorporates NTT Com’s unique channel-control technology (patent pending), which reports the Internet routes used by specific traffic and enabling traffic from a DDoS attack to be routed to optimized points in NTT Com’s Global IP (GIP) and domestic OCN networks for Internet connection. The attacker’s specific traffic is drawn to the system’s DDoS defense devices, whereas normal communications experience only minimal delays.
NTT Com is Japan’s first communications provider to conduct a multihomed anti-DDoS service that would be available to all companies using or providing Internet services.
