As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There are some best practices that service providers should take into account to protect themselves from a DDoS attack, which can impact their network, as well as the service they provide to their customers.

In this second video in our two-part series on DDoS, I discuss with Paul Dragin from A10 Networks some of the ways you can detect and mitigate a DDoS attack.  You'll learn what's most important to consider when choosing and evaluating DDoS protection and mitigation — which should be a solution that is precise, automatic,  scalable and affordable — giving you the confidence that you need to protect your network and customers. 

If you missed part one on the different types of DDoS attacks and why they are launched, you can watch it here.
