Distributed denial-of-service attacks are but one example of the insidious and outsized threats organizations face today, but they highlight the limitations of conventional, centralized perimeter defense solutions and emphasize the clear advantages that cloud-based security can offer, in terms of scalability, flexibility, capacity planning, and cost.

However, in order to benefit from the unique strengths of cloud-based security, organizations must be careful to choose a trusted provider offering proven, scalable, cross-network solutions.
