Akamai Technologies Inc. has introduced Akamai Kona Site Defender.
The service is designed to protect the brand value of companies by shielding their web sites, applications and associated data in the face of increasing and more complex attacks. These attacks can cost companies millions in lost transactions and business productivity each year, and even higher losses in their brand value and reputation. With the introduction of Kona Site Defender, real-time web security monitoring, adaptive rate controls and other powerful features are bundled into a single, always on, cloud-based solution that can protect an enterprise's most critical online business functions.
Wendy Nather, Research Director of 451 Research's Enterprise Security Practice said, "Attackers don't stay on one layer anymore; they tend to include both network and application-based techniques, which makes defending against them more complicated. Enterprises are looking for resilient defense that takes advantage of the provider's experience with large volumes of these kinds of attacks."
