SAN FRANCISCO, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentik®, provider of
the only AIOps platform specifically for network professionals,
today announced a partnership with Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET),
the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build
a better Internet. The collaboration integrates network traffic
intelligence from Kentik with Cloudflare Magic Transit for fast
mitigation of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
"The partnership between network and security teams is critical
for stopping today's advanced and targeted DDoS attacks," said
Avi Freedman, Co-founder and CEO of
Kentik. "Kentik leverages powerful network analytics and insights
to identify DDoS attacks in real-time. Our integration with
Cloudflare Magic Transit enables organizations to mitigate these
attacks before they impact the business."
Network traffic analysis and fully automated DDoS detection
capabilities from Kentik now integrate with Cloudflare Magic
Transit, which provides IP transit with DDoS protection, next-gen
firewall, traffic acceleration, and more, for on-premise,
cloud-hosted, and hybrid networks. Together, these solutions
provide over 35 Tbps of DDoS mitigation capacity, add accurate and
flexible DDoS and anomaly detection, and enable powerful ad-hoc
forensic analytics on months to years of granular network traffic
details.
"Partnering with Kentik allows mutual customers to gain granular
insight into their network and directly use this insight with
Cloudflare Magic Transit. With the combination of products,
customers are able to mitigate DDoS attacks with precision,
accuracy, and low times-to-detect," said Arjunan Rajeswaran, Head of Strategic
Partnerships at Cloudflare.
The technology integration provides best-in-class network
infrastructure protection against DDoS attacks of all kinds and
sizes. Kentik analyzes network traffic and detects DDoS attacks in
real-time and signals Cloudflare to automatically shift traffic
destined for the target IP into their cloud mitigation data
centers. With Cloudflare's data centers in 200 cities, traffic is
not re-routed to centralized "scrubbing centers" and threats are
mitigated closest to the source of attack for faster mitigation and
lower latency.

integration, visit the solution brief or contact Kentik to request
