Security Through Research

Staminus Communications is proud to present the culmination of ten years of experience in battling DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. Our SecurePort product is designed in-house from the ground up to provide maximum DDoS protection against all attacks.

Under Attack? Get Protection Now!

The Problem

  • Service Interruption
  • During 2011, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of flood-based DDoS attacks in the 10 Gbps range. This represents the "mainstreaming" of large flood-based DDoS attacks, and indicates that network operators must be prepared to withstand and mitigate large flood attacks on a routine basis.

  • Financial Loss!
  • The financial impact of a DDoS attack can be devastating. Estimates from Forrester, IDC, and the Yankee Group predict the cost of a 24-hour outage for a large e-commerce company would approach $30 million USD. In February 2000, DDoS attacks against Amazon, Yahoo, eBay, and other major sites caused an estimated cumulative loss of $1.2 billion USD, according to the Yankee Group.

  • Insure Yourself Before It's Too Late
  • Unfortunately, most business owners become aware of the threat of DDoS because they experience an attack, according to the 2011 Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report.

    SecurePort DDoS Protection

    The Technology

    SecurePort DEFENDER is powered by a set of sub-components that modularize security. This includes IPS, NBA, DoS, and Reputation Engine detection, mitigation, and protection. The end design allows SecurePort to protect against known vulnerabilities, as well as emerging zero-day attacks. The system operates independent of human intervention and involvement.

    The Performance

    SecurePort, powered by our exclusive RDE (Rapid Detection Engine) is an all-inclusive security platform that is parallel scalable, redundant, and resilient. It provides active and unobstructive latency-free protection from all attacks, including SYN, HTTP GET & POST, ICMP, and UDP floods. The secret is in our multi-layer technology that allows the system to detect and mitigate attacks up to 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps) or up to 20 Million packets per second (20 Mpps) within 2 minutes.

    SecurePort Rapid Deployment Engine (RDE)

    The Solution

  • Network Data Analysis
  • Data packets arriving at the network are first inspected for "spoofing" using a proprietary detection technology. A baseline of normal traffic is analyzed and stored.

  • Analysis Engines
  • Anomalies from the above baseline are extracted from the data set and applied to the IPS, NBA, and Reputation Engine database. Ingress traffic is determined to be normal or abnormal (malicious).

  • Dynamic Signature Generation
  • Abnormal traffic signatures are generated to mitigate only the unwanted traffic. Normal traffic continues unimpeded by the Traffic Mitigation module.

    SecurePort Analysis

    The Overhead

  • Centralized Management
  • Operations and technology managers have their hands tied already. Adding complex management tools is costly and time consuming to both deploy and train. All management and reporting is provided in the cloud via our Client Portal system. It's simple and easy.

  • Comprehensive Reporting
  • Executives want graphs. Technology professionals want raw figures. We provide both.
