Check Point Software Technologies today announced its first line of products to fight distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS).
Check Point's DDoS Protector line of appliances, developed in conjunction with Radware, are intended for use in the enterprise networks, and would typically be placed in front of the firewall at the Internet access point, says Fred Kost, head of product marketing at Check Point. The new Check Point anti-DDoS line is being offered as seven different appliances in two basic form factors, a two-rack unit and a one-rack unit. These appliances all have similar functionality in terms of DDoS defense and are differentiated in performance areas such as speed, starting at 500Mbps and topping out at 12Gbps.
