Foundation plus DDoS mitigation
Providing round-the-clock automated DDoS mitigation protection against DDoS attacks on your Janet connectivity.
24/7 automated Janet Network protection
With many of us now working more flexibly and needing access to services outside of normal working hours, we've developed foundation plus. This optional service provides round-the-clock automated DDoS mitigation protection against DDoS attacks on your Janet connectivity.
Foundation plus is an optional enhancement to the foundation DDoS mitigation service providing automated DDoS mitigation protection 24/7 against Jisc detected volumetric and state exhaustion DDoS attacks affecting your Janet connectivity. If an attack occurs out-of-hours, you have the peace of mind that your Janet Network connection is automatically being protected, (no need for the CSIRT team to manually mitigate an attack). With our out-of-hours alerting facility (only available with foundation plus) you also have visibility of the attack if required.
Benefits
As soon as it’s enabled, the service provides 24/7 year-round protection from DDoS attacks. So you'll have enhanced network protection at key times of the year, such as clearing, enrolment or peak operating months.
Other benefits include:
- Business continuity: ensure uninterrupted business operations, 24/7, acting like an ‘insurance policy’
- Cost effective: to suit your budget and risk appetite
- Reputation management: by minimising disruptions, you can uphold your organisation’s reputation and protect the bottom line
- Out-of-hours coverage 24/7/365: automated protection during non-business hours
- Fast mitigation response: reduces the window for attacks, minimising disruption to business operations
- Enabling foundation plus requires no testing/input from you
"Vigilance and a complete understanding of what DDoS entails are critical to staying protected." Clare Stonebridge, lead service manager - DDoS protection, Jisc

Cyber security portal
Gain insight to your network security delivered via Janet, including DDoS mitigation data, via our cyber security portal. Your dashboard provides information about your network traffic in relation to DDoS attacks, alerts and in-progress or past mitigations.

In combination with our critical services protection service (which offers out-of-hours customisable DDoS attack protection for your mission critical services including DNS, website and VPN), utilising both services can provide that peace of mind knowing that your Janet Network connection and critical services are protected 24/7.
If you are looking to protect services in the cloud, we also offer a cloud web application firewall, which protects your cloud hosted website from emerging threats and helps achieve compliance needs.

This is an optional chargeable service which is available to Janet-connected organisations.
ISO certification
This service is included within the scope of our ISO9001 and ISO27001 certificates.
