Case Study: PenTeleData achieves 30+% better DDoS detection and automated mitigation with Kentik Detect

PenTeleData Keeps DDoS at Bay With Kentik Detect

PenTeleData, a communications service provider with more than sixty points of presence in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, was struggling with an outdated appliance-based DDoS defense system that missed attacks and created operational noise. The company turned to Kentik Detect to improve protection for its voice, video, data, and Internet services.

Kentik implemented enhanced anomaly detection, auto-adaptive baselining, alerting, and automated mitigation triggering in Kentik Detect, integrated with PenTeleData’s Radware DefenseFlow platform. As a result, PenTeleData achieved a 30+ percent increase in detection accuracy, with fewer false negatives and false positives, and the system has been automatically detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks since June 2016.
