Four Considerations for Addressing the DDoS Risk for Carrier and Cloud Hosting Providers

"As distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and other cyber-security threats grow exponentially in scale, so

of these threats pose a unique challenge and risk to telecommunication carriers, major network operators and
large cloud hosting providers. The world’s largest and most recognizable enterprises turn to these organizations
with the expectation that protection from cyber-security threats is an inherent part of hosting or connectivity
services. Unfortunately, making this a reality becomes difficult when the growth of the threats outpace the
growth of security products to remedy the risk."
