Agenda
• DDoS preven1on market and growth
• Driving deployments in the enterprise
• NSS Labs’ 2016 DDoS Preven1on Group Test results
o TCO
o Security Effec1veness
o Performance
• Q&A

6. 6
State of the Market
• Market Size: US$480.7M in 2015; US$522.6M in 2016 (NSS est.)
• Evolving market: Increasing adop1on of cloud and hybrid solu1ons impac1ng on-premises sales

7. 7
Deployment Drivers
• Up#me
o Increased online presence means higher risk
o Marke1ng presence
• Why A+acks?
o $$
o Diversionary
o Poli1cal
• Defense-in-depth
o 5-10 min. protec1on window
o When used in a hybrid deployment
o Protec1on in front of other network security assets

8. 8
DDoS Prevention as Tested
• Small-to-medium enterprise
o Solu1ons targeted at carrier space were not tested
• On-premises solu#on 1-40G
o Stand-alone solu1ons
o Can be used in hybrid solu1ons, but not tested
• Tuned for each of the four test areas
o Performance, volumetric, protocol, and applica1on aeacks
o No interac1ve tuning during the course of the test

Group Test Results : Definitions
• TCO
o Purchase
o Maintenance – including subscrip1on fees
o Administra1on – including installa1on and tuning
• Security Effec#veness
o Equa1on: Mi1ga1on - Baseline Impact * Stability and Reliability
• TCO per Protected Mbps
o Equa1on: 3-Year TCO/(Security Effec1veness x NSS Tested
Throughput)
