Hi Ristau - looks good. Is there a software appliance from these guys? ie can I protect my clouds? edit - just seen they do have a virtual appliance.

I would be keen to trial this.

2nd day of training went well,  learned how to stop a variety of DDoS attacks,  with it's patented "secret sauce" to make things work, it does a good job, at lease in lab.

The key is "up to 300Gbps". When 301Gbps shows up, you be DDoS'd. This is why botnet owners like to have lots and lots and lots of bots, so they can get numbers big enough to kill the DDoS protection. Most folks can't afford nets that big, but state actors are another thing entirely.

nice tool, very configurable,   can do LOTS of mitigations, but again with every other tools you have to know your network.... in great detail...
