Case Study: Tier-1 Service Provider achieves outbound IoT DDoS protection with Allot DDoS Secure

Availability and QoE by Neutralizing Outbound IoT DDoS attacks

Allot helped a Tier-1 Service Provider in APAC respond to a major zero-day DDoS attack that overwhelmed its DNS infrastructure and disrupted service for millions of customers. The attack originated from compromised IoT devices inside the operator’s own mobile network, exposing a gap in the provider’s existing perimeter defenses, which could block inbound attacks but not outbound threats from infected devices.

Using existing Allot Service Gateway platforms, the provider activated Allot DDoS Secure, including DDoS Protection and Bot Containment, without installing new equipment. Allot’s Host Behavior Anomaly Detection quickly learned normal traffic patterns, detected suspicious port scanning and outbound bot activity, and helped isolate infected devices; after a one-month evaluation, the operator expanded the solution across its network to improve service availability, gain real-time visibility, and strengthen protection against outbound IoT DDoS attacks.
