Singapores StarHub Joins Arbor Networks Cloud SignalingSM Coalition to Stop DDoS Attacks

Chelmsford, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2012

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, announced today that StarHub, Singapore’s fully-integrated info-communication company, has joined Arbors Cloud Signaling Coalition (CSC). Preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and mitigating their threat requires collaboration among all stakeholders. The CSC is an innovative partnership between service providers, datacenter operators and enterprises with the mission to ensure the availability of their network infrastructure and speed time-to-mitigation for DDoS attacks.

StarHub offers a full range of information, communications and entertainment services, and operates its own mobile, hybrid fiber-coaxial and fixed business networks. With extensive, business-critical traffic across its multiple networks, the company joined the CSC to be able to offer differentiated managed security services, and reduce the time-to-mitigation and increase the effectiveness of the DDoS threat response.

With the various networks we operate, any threats to traffic flow and network availability will have a significant impact to our customers businesses. That is a risk we cannot afford to take, said StarHubs Chief Technology Officer Mock Pak Lum. Working closely with Arbor as a member of the CSC will help us protect our customers and earn their loyalty. Network security is an evolving challenge and a responsibility best fulfilled when shared by peers.

Managing threats to the network when handling such a high volume of traffic like StarHub is responsible for can be a daunting and risky business for any provider, said Attley Ng, Arbor Networks vice president for Asia Pacific,. By joining the coalition, StarHub is demonstrating its knowledge of the threat landscape and its commitment to partnering with customers to help ensure businesses are up and running and services are available.
