NSFOCUS Successfully Safeguards Security of Event and Protects Key Network Assets<\/em><\/p>\n

Santa Clara, Calif<\/strong>., October 7, 2016 \u2013 <\/strong>Cybersecurity discussions<\/a> were a top priority at the G20 Summit 2016, a global economic leadership forum attended by world leaders from 20 major economies; yet the event itself encountered a staggering number of attempted cyber attacks between September 3-6. NSFOCUS<\/a>, a global provider of intelligent hybrid security solutions, was commissioned by China\u2019s Ministry of Public Security to provide 24×7 cybersecurity protection for networks and applications associated with the G20 Summit \u2013 successfully defending against 133,254 attacks targeting the G20 network.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecuring an event of the size and prominence of G20 is an enormous undertaking,\u201d said Dr. Richard Zhao, SVP of Global Threat Research, NSFOCUS. \u201cCybercrime is evolving with hackers moving beyond traditional attacks to more advanced threats, and geopolitical conferences are always an ideal target for malicious activity. In order to combat these threats and ensure the security of the summit, NSFOCUS took a holistic approach and implemented an integrated and layered security solution to protect the G20. As a result, the event carried on as planned, and the striking number of incoming attacks did not disrupt activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the event, NSFOCUS secured 12,728 web applications and key pages linked to the G20 Summit, while at the same time defending 359,830 other critical business systems owned by NSFOCUS customers. This is a testament that NSFOCUS is well prepared to protect these types of global events, while simultaneously protecting their own customers. The company provided 28 systems that delivered attack traffic scrubbing, intrusion prevention, and web application security, all of which were continually updated with NSFOCUS global Threat Intelligence. The NSFOCUS solutions included next generation IPS, anti-DDOS systems<\/a>, remote security assessment systems, web application firewalls<\/a>, and WebSafe SaaS, a cloud-managed service for web servers.<\/p>\n
