Noteworthy

 As protests of all kinds seem to be gaining momentum these days, it will be interesting to see what develops next with DDoS attacks.

 As Neustar sees it, there are three key elements to dedicated DDoS protection: people, process and technology.

 In today's online business environment it is important that the risks are truly understood and mitigation measures put in place before attacks happen and the damage is done.

 Real people are reporting attacks and real people are responding.
