Wikileaks is apparently jumpstarting the internet security industry |
|
As seen in wtmusic's inbox:
The recent WikiLeaks "revenge attacks" targeting Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, and other organizations have brought Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) into the forefront. These destructive, powerful attacks have become the weapon of choice, and they leave everyone thinking: "What happens when Hacktivists target us?"
Akamai has been instrumental in helping some of these organizations recover from attacks and get back up and running. For years we have offered one of the most effective and unique approaches to DDoS mitigation - a distributed defense, which is fundamentally different from traditional telco and appliance based solutions. Our distributed application delivery platform offers: over 73,000 servers in 7,000 networks to outclass and absorb attacks of any size web application firewall services to filter application layer attacks in-line and at scale origin cloaking that shields the origin servers from direct attacks Don't let your organization's name appear in the headlines. Find out more information about Akamai’s full suite of security solutions today.
Maybe Akamai can provide hosting for Wikileaks, since they're so instrumental in helping Ak's bottom line... :crazy:

1. I completed a job assignment a week ago but I was told I may be called back in January |

after the department moves into a bigger space, hires two more people, and organizes "a ton of new projects that have come in." The department? Internet security!
