Liquid Networks, a business of
Cassava Technologies, a pan-African technology group, has announced the launch
of its Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Secure offering to its customers.
According to a
statement issued on Tuesday, the solution is designed to proactively mitigate attacks by
scrubbing traffic and blocking known attackers or malicious traffic.
The Chief Executive Officer of Liquid Networks, Ahmad Mokhles, remarked in the statement, "Cyber Attacks are at an all-time
high; cyber security threats cost the African GDP almost a whopping US$4.1
billion in 2021. And, DDoS are on top of the cyber security attacks; the
staggering cost to our GDP is proof enough that no business can afford to be
without a layer of protection against them. While DDoS attacks have evolved
over the years, our offering is equally sophisticated. With traffic scrubbed at
one of our four scrubbing centres, customers can focus on their core business
requirements while keeping them safe from DDoS attacks,"
It further noted that the service is
being offered to all potential Internet & IP transit clients and provided
to all existing customers in regions where Liquid has operations across Africa
access to a proactive protection service.
"With DDoS Secure, clients can have
peace of mind, knowing that their business's reputation, income, and network
are protected. The service also offers them the potential for growth and
partnerships through DDoS compliance," it stated.
While protecting clients' networks
and operations, DDoS Secure also gives them a line of sight about attempted
attacks through post-incident reports on all mitigations completed. In
addition, with the recent launch of Liquid's Next-Gen Cyber Security Fusion
Centre, the organization will be able to monitor all online activity live and
deter an attack before it reaches your network.
"With this measure in place, there
will be higher visibility of potential attacks, and we will be able to mitigate
threats and proactively secure businesses automatically. In addition, we can
now manage and protect our customers in real-time. Yet, another achievement as
Liquid Cyber Security introduces a solution that brings the world's best
practices in protecting against DDoS attacks," concluded Mohkles.
