Bravo Staminus: Logs now provided for…

I am not sure if this is a first, but it sure seems like a first in the industry. Most service providers who stop DDoS attack, do not provide any detailed logs, IP information, etc. on the attack. Reasons vary from inability to stop all the malicious packets (which might filter through), to secrecy, etc.

However, I think Staminus may have just raised the bar. I just came across their forum post (which is quite old), but I was totally taken back. Staminus is now providing detailed log reports, etc. from the client’s Control Panel.

Cisco released a flood of patches yesterday, some of them very important as they can be exploited (if not patched) to do distributed denial of service attacks (ddos attacks). More on this release can be read here.

I came across this website, from a comment that was posted by this company on a blog by Gartner. The company IntelliGuard cites:

“IntelliGuard provides the most reliable and fastest DDoS protection for online enterprises, public & media services, essential infrastructure and Internet service providers.”

More information on this company can be found here.
