One of the most menacing threats to companies in the digital age is the threat of Denial of Service (DoS) and worm attacks, which can cripple and even shut down websites and on-line services. The Internet technology and innovation used by businesses around the globe have made organizations increasingly dependent on their network and IT infrastructure for day-to-day operations. This dependence on technology for even the most mundane aspects of business has also significantly increased companies’ vulnerabilities.

Threats to network security and integrity have never been greater. There is no debate that the threat of attacks on the corporate infrastructure is a major consideration for organizations. DoS attacks are proving themselves to be the most expensive type of cybercrime, costing U.S. businesses and the government millions of dollars a year.

Only a network-based DoS mitigation solution can provide realistic protection to enterprise resources and capabilities. Level 3 Communications offers Denial of Service Protection to identify and filter attacks at the network level — before your resources are impacted.
