Case Study: a high profile NZ government agency strengthens DDoS resilience with RedShield and AWS security

High Profile NZ Government Agency stops a 2.4Tbps attack with Redshield

A high profile NZ government agency faced a significant cybersecurity challenge when it was targeted by a large volumetric DDoS attack on its hybrid infrastructure. The vendor, Redshield, took proactive measures using its surveillance and offshore scrubbing to manually detect and mitigate the initial threat.

Redshield implemented a comprehensive solution by migrating the customer's services to AWS Shield Advanced for always-on protection and Application Load Balancers with AWS WAF. This provided substantially larger volumetric capacity and defense against subsequent sophisticated application layer DDoS attacks. Redshield successfully thwarted a 2.4Tbps attack and fortified the customer's infrastructure with a multi-layered defense strategy.
