Case Study: VMedia achieves uninterrupted subscriber QoE by blocking DDoS attacks with Sandvine's Network Security

VMedia Blocks DDoS Traffic to Protect Subscriber QoE

VMedia, a cable and IPTV provider in Ontario, delivers TV, OTT, VOD and other services through a single set‑top box. The company faced growing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and malware address/port scans that threatened network elements and the quality of experience (QoE) for subscribers, so it sought a proactive way to detect and stop malicious activity before it impacted customers.

Using Sandvine’s reporting for clear operational insight, VMedia deployed an inline, third‑generation attack‑traffic solution to detect, isolate and surgically block DDoS and scanning traffic. The implementation prevented service disruptions, safeguarded subscriber QoE and strengthened the integrity of VMedia’s network infrastructure.
