The Security Industry’s Coveted Excellence Award Winners and Finalists from all over the world were honored by Info Security Products Guide in San Francisco on February 24, 2014
Black Lotus announced today that Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, has named Black Lotus, a Silver and Bronze winner of the 2014 Global Excellence Awards in the Best Overall Security Company of the Year and Awesome Product of the Year categories. The security industry celebrated its 10th Annual 2014 Global Excellence Awards in San Francisco by honoring excellence in every facet of the industry including products, people behind the successes and best companies.
More than 50 judges from a broad spectrum of industry voices from around the world participated and their average scores determined the 2014 Global Excellence Awards Finalists and Winners. Winners were announced during the awards dinner and presentation on February 24, 2014 in San Francisco attended by the finalists, judges and industry peers.
Black Lotus was recognized by ISPG for its Protection for Networks (PFN) service which enables any service provider or enterprise anywhere in the world to enable DDoS mitigation on their networks by rapidly turning up a GRE tunnel or connecting directly with Black Lotus at an on-net datacenter. PFN is differentiated from other DDoS protection services by the ability to use the service full time or on demand without any additional fees due to frequency of attacks or other metrics. Additionally, PFN has been particularly popular with service providers as it can be used to resell DDoS protection services on networks which do not have native DDoS mitigation capabilities.
Earlier this month Black Lotus customers were protected against otherwise crippling NTP DDoS attacks exceeding 400 Gbps in size when the company implemented global policies to block these attacks, even for customers which did not subscribe to larger mitigation plans.
