May's clinic

How can Jisc help you protect your network and critical services from DDoS attacks?

With exams and clearing/enrolment on the horizon, this clinic will review the DDoS landscape and how Jisc can assist the community with our DDoS mitigation services portfolio.

We will discuss the benefits of:

  • Critical services protection (CSP) which is our optional automated 24/7 DDoS protection for key services, including flexible short term protection options.
  • Foundation plus (FP) which extends the foundation DDoS mitigation protection all Janet connected organisations get with their connection and takes the foundation protection a step further with our optional automated 24/7 network protection.

All cyber clinics have moved to the cyber community over Teams. If you are not already a member, please join Jisc's cyber community group.

About

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can affect any organisation and in the current time with many services being served remotely, the risk of downtime is now even greater. Are you aware of what your organisation can do to help mitigate such attacks?

This live DDoS mitigation clinic is an open forum to discuss queries relating to DDoS mitigation/attacks, with the opportunity to also share experiences with other organisations.

The clinics generally run once a quarter on the second Thursday of a month.

Benefits

  • Understand what your organisation can do to help prevent DDoS attacks
  • Share your experiences with like-minded people focusing on DDoS mitigation attack prevention
  • Gain guidance, feedback and support on particular areas of concern

Who should attend

Open to all Janet-connected members and customers who are looking to further protect their connections from DDoS attacks.

What we cover

The clinic is discussion based and relies on participation. We’ll aim to provide answers to specific technical, administrative and policy issues you are experiencing either during the session or the team will follow up after the session.
