Research Note: A Better Architecture for DDoS

DDoS and other techniques to execute ransomware are on the rise, costing everyone from individuals to huge enterprises significant cost, inconvenience and lost revenues. For CSPs, the rise is stressing today’s cost equation. But Appledore believes that cyber security in general, and DDoS/ransomware protection in particular, still presents service providers with a large and realistic opportunity to grow and diversify revenues. This Research Note proposes an as-a-Service architecture for CSPs’ cybersecurity offerings.

In this 10+ page report, we offer a new and independent analysis of the increased threat from DDoS, and on how to address it. Our analysis references real world results shared recently by Nokia Deepfield and Nokia Bell Labs.
