Heavy Networking 479: Scaling Up Your DDoS Protection With Juniper Networks And Corero (Sponsored)

DDoS is a significant problem. The volume of DDoS traffic is increasing by leaps and bounds, enabled in part by botnets of compromised hosts such as IoT devices.
On today’s sponsored Heavy Networking, we talk with Juniper Networks and Corero about how they’ve partnered on a unique solution to thwart DDoS attacks at the network edge.
The solution encompasses Juniper’s MX routers and Corero’s SmartWall Threat Defense Director (TDD). Juniper and Corero’s solution can be used by service providers, enterprises, and in the cloud.
Our guests are Ashley Stephenson, CEO of Corero; and Mark Denny, Product Manager, Senior Staff at Juniper Networks.
We discuss:

* The growing frequency and sophistication of DDoS attacks
* The integration between MX routers and Corero’s SmartWall TDD
* How Junos and Corero coordinate on attack detection and response
* Leveraging the MX router’s ASIC
* How the solution filters malicious traffic from legitimate packets
* The benefits of DDoS mitigation at the network edge
* More
