The company operates several web resources, including public websites for customers and private portals for partners and suppliers. These resources serve various purposes, such as:
● Online car sales;
● Parts orders from dealerships;
● Logistics and supply chain management;
● Product and service information.
Any downtime of these resources could lead to significant financial losses and damage the company's reputation. For instance, if a dealer in Novosibirsk were unable to order necessary parts through the online system, it could have delayed customer car repairs, leading to dissatisfaction and loss of brand trust.
Key Challenges
- Ensure the uninterrupted operation of the company's critical online services, including systems for interacting with partners, spare parts suppliers, and customers.
Project Execution
Drawing on their information security experience, ICL Services specialists proposed an optimal solution based on the DDoS-Guard product. This choice was influenced by the following factors:
1. Highly effective protection against various types and scales of DDoS attacks.
2. The vendor's substantial computing power and extensive communication channels for traffic filtering.
3. Ease of deployment and user-friendly administration on the customer's end.
4. Excellent value for money in terms of service quality.
5. Scalability to meet growing business needs.
Implementation Process
The project was executed in several key stages:
1. Analysis of customer needs and terms of reference. ICL Services specialists thoroughly assessed the customer's needs to determine the most suitable protection solution.
2. Setting up the protection system. The customer’s team was granted access to the DDoS-Guard control panel to configure protection parameters according to the company's requirements.
3. Traffic redirection. In the new framework, all incoming traffic first passes through DDoS-Guard's filtering infrastructure before reaching the customer’s servers, at which point it is already "clean". This process was implemented gradually for each protected resource to minimize risks and ensure a smooth transition.
4. Testing and optimization. The solution's implementation was followed by comprehensive tests to assess resilience against various types of DDoS attacks. Based on the test results, necessary adjustments were made to the protection system settings.
Solution Features
The solution offers several important benefits:
1. Cloud architecture. Utilizing DDoS-Guard's distributed infrastructure makes it possible to efficiently repel even large-scale attacks without overloading the customer's communication channels and servers.
2. Flexible configuration. With the user-friendly web interface, the company’s administrators can manage security settings on their own, allowing the system to adapt to evolving threats.
3. Transparency for end users. Implementing the solution does not require any changes on the part of the company's customers and partners.
4. Scalability. The system easily adapts to traffic growth and the expansion of protected resources.
Results
- The system successfully repels DDoS attacks of varying intensity, ensuring uninterrupted operation of online services.
- The likelihood of critical systems becoming unavailable due to malicious activities has been significantly reduced.
- The company’s customers and partners now have stable access to the necessary online resources, which is having a positive impact on business process efficiency.
- Through leveraging a cloud-based solution, the company was able to ensure a high level of protection without significant investment in its own infrastructure
