Secure64, the leading provider of Genuinely Secure DNS servers, today announced that a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in Asia has upgraded their infrastructure by adding Secure64® DNS Signer®, a secure, highly automated DNSSEC signing solution.
For immediate release
Greenwood Village, CO– March 2, 2018- Secure64, the leading provider of Genuinely Secure DNS servers, today announced that Secure64® DNS Authority™ servers help protect the network against UDP-based amplified attacks, including those recently discovered by US-CERT.
Amplified attacks threaten the availability of a network, as they send more traffic through the network thnt it is capable of processing. When network capacity is exceeded, all applications on the network are crippled.
“This week US-CERT released a warning about exploiting memcache to create UDP-based amplified attacks with very high amplification factors.” says Thad Dupper, President & CEO, Secure64. “We anticipated the rise of distributed denial of service attacks from the founding of our company, and our DNS servers were designed from the ground up to mitigate those attacks. Several years ago, we anticipated that amplified attacks would grow in scope, so we developed Secure64 PipeProtector.™ PipeProtector monitors inbound bandwidth consumption and when it exceeds normal levels, PipeProtector can notify the upstream router to blackhole traffic from abusive clients, a best practice that is known as Remotely Triggered Blackhole and which is recommended by US-CERT to defend against amplified attacks. This helps to defeat the objective of the attacker, which is to take down the network. Not only is the DNS protected, but other servers on the same network are as well.”
PipeProtector is available on Secure64 DNS Authority for no additional charge.
