Cybersecurity service provider, StormWall, recently announced the opening of its sixth point of presence in Singapore, in partnership with IDCloudHost. The new location, which will operate in the Equinix SG3 data center, offers robust protection against DDoS attacks for customers in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
APAC region has been affected the most by DDoS attacks. In the third quarter of 2022, Singapore experienced more L3/4 DDoS attacks than any other region in the world. China was the third most attacked country. Taiwan also experienced heavy DDoS activity.
StormWall’s new point of presence will offer a robust website DDoS protection, TCP/UDP application protection, network protection and a web application firewall to companies in APAC. The proprietary StormWall Triple Filter system effectively detects spam traffic and prevents it from reaching the server without losing legitimate packets. The network bandwidth of 2500 Gbit/s is sufficient to protect against powerful botnets.
DDoS attacks are a constant threat to any online business. Studies show that about 70% of organizations have suffered DDoS attacks within the last 12 months. A successful attack can disable an entire internet infrastructure. This is a perfect opportunity for bad actors to demand ransom as downtime makes companies lose money. It also damages their reputation. Unfortunately, this can be a company’s worst nightmare.
Equinix SG3 data center hosts StormWall servers in Asia Pacific. Equinix’s Singapore facility is among the most advanced in the region and provides ultra-low latency connections. The servers are placed in rooms that have carefully controlled temperatures. This guarantees optimal performance at all times. For StormWall clients, this means that when you switch to the protected network, you will not notice any delays. The normal work of your business will not be affected – even if there is a peak load because of a DDoS attack.
“We are extremely proud of our ongoing progress. In order to provide our customers with the best protection, we are not only working on improving our AI-based traffic filtering technology, but also expanding our geographic footprint, as physical proximity to servers is critical to minimizing latency. Of course, our point of presence in Singapore — which became possible thanks to our partnership with IDCloudHost — will help not only provide customers from the region with dependable DDoS protection, but also increase the resistance of the entire network, and for many users, sites connected to StormWall protection will load even faster than before.” says Ramil Khantimirov.
“We’re excited to work on this project with StormWall. StormWall’s DDoS protection is one of the most advanced on the market and we believe our partnership will go a long way in reducing the threat of DDoS attacks in Asia Pacific. This is the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration.” says Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna, CEO of IDCloudHost.
