Hello World, It was interesting discussion, but some people missed that the company in question is SMALL. Do you guys think anybody will waste DDoS resources to target a small company? And pay for that? So far I have not seen such paranoid hackers.

The advantage of a service "in the cloud" is that if an attack exceeds your circuit bandwidth the provider will be able to drop the malicious traffic. That cannot be done at your premise. Both Arbor and Radware offer strong appliances that can clean up smaller attacks at your premise and can send a signal to the provider if they support that service. You can block traffic using IPS's but keep in mind they are not designed for a volumetric attack and may be overwhelmed.

What about Suricata or Snort IDS in IPS mode? On Jun 18, 2014 8:43 AM, "Mikhail A.

If that is right, you do not need to bother with DDoS protection, which is against server side.

Noted the points raised by Jacint and Kelly Keeton. I appreciate that. May I be kind to seek an opinion/ arguments suggesting if the In-house appliances are more "intelligent" thwarting the application level DOS/ DDoS attacks as compared to ISP provided DOS protection wherein it may even fail to detect them. or if there are other benefits owning an In-house product? As far as Cons are concerned, I feel that the appliance may add some latency which may create issues wherein a latency of milliseconds count. Although we're small, We're an organization playing with ($,¥,€,£) exchanges and heavily regulated by the Government.
