Worldstream has deployed Nokia Deepfield Defender and 7750 SR routers across its network which it claims will provide an eightfold increase in DDoS mitigation capacity.

Prior to the deployment, Worldstream says it was limited in its defence against large-scale carpet-bombing attacks – which target multiple IP addresses – that could disrupt entire customer networks.

Worldstream says the newly deployed Nokia Deepfield Defender and 7750 SR routers now enable it to provide real-time, automated, next-generation DDoS protection that scales with the network.

The solution offers line-rate protection across all peering interfaces, eliminating restrictions associated with single-server DDoS mitigation.

Nokia claims its ultra-fast DDoS provides protection for all DDoS types, including complex TCP-based application floods and botnet and proxy-based attack types, defending several customers against large-scale attacks at once.

According to Worldstream, its customers can now rely on fast network-based mitigation of even the most complex and high-volume cyberattacks and AI-driven threats.

“Security has become just as critical as performance in hosting services,” said Ruben van der Zwan, CEO of Worldstream.

"Businesses expect resilience, and they need to trust that their infrastructure won’t be taken down by a single attack.

"With Nokia DDoS technology, we’ve made a major leap in protection. Our customers now benefit from ultra-fast mitigation, ensuring that their digital services remain available no matter what’s thrown at them."

Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice President for Network Infrastructure, Europe at Nokia said cybercrime is evolving, and with the rise of AI in particular, security solutions need to evolve faster.

"We see that for hosting providers, traditional DDoS mitigation methods are no longer sufficient," Bourguignon said.

"With the Nokia Deepfield solution, Worldstream is now equipped with high-capacity, network-based protection that reacts instantly, rapidly detecting and eliminating threats before they impact businesses.”
