Foundation DDoS mitigation
Mitigation against DDoS attacks on your Janet connection, with support available during business hours and on-call.
Protecting your Janet connection
DDoS attacks are increasing in scale, sophistication and frequency.
Foundation DDoS mitigation service protection is provided to every Janet-connected organisation. We monitor traffic for unexpected patterns. If an alert is triggered, traffic to the address is re-routed via the mitigation scrubbing centre. Attack traffic is then filtered out using carefully selected criteria and benign, business-as-usual traffic continues to flow to and from your services.
Benefits
- Provided automatically to every Janet-connected organisation
- Access to CSIRT analysts to help support during a DDoS attack
- Peace of mind that blocks can be put in place to allow important business operations and student/staff access to continue
- Geo-IP filtering gives Janet-connected members greater protection against ransomware attacks by restricting access to RDP (TCP port 3389 only) using geographic IP location blocking. If you would like to opt out of this service, please contact irt@jisc.ac.uk and specify the range of IPs you wish to exclude
