Case Report: DDOS (Distributed Denial of

Services)
Problem:
MSAs ITSS currently does not offer DDoS protectition for BOTH internet
providers. This could be an issue because the internet provider that has
DDoS protection may fail leaving the backup internet provider vulnerable to
an attack. This could be viewed as a weakness by some of our clients.

Solution:
Many companies offer DDoS protection with the option of a white label.
This allows MSA to adopt the DDoS under their own name, offering a wider
product portfolio. Below is an analysis of the market share, rankings, and
strengths & weaknesses of companies that specialize in DDoS protection.
