In this video, Dileep Mishra, a Radware Sales Engineer, discusses three key factors to consider when evaluating DDoS mitigation services: where to conduct a proof of concept, your test plan and mitigation effectiveness.
After you watch this clip, be sure to watch his previous one on evaluating dual vendor DDoS protection, and read his thoughts on capacity considerations and whether it’s legal to evaluate a DDoS mitigation solution.
From a security point of view, however, it’s considered best practice to use DNS and BGP routing in conjunction, the former for protection against application layer assaults and the latter defending against direct-to-IP attacks and other network layer threats. This is why, today, it’s common to have both methods offered to you by the same mitigation provider.
Great insight is given by Dileep. Thanks for sharing this information.
