Kuala Lumpur – 12 August, 2021. ENC, we are an Application Service Provider in Malaysia, today announced its strategic partnership with Nexusguard, a leading DDoS security solution provider. The partnership will not only elevate ENC’s brand position in Malaysia, but also help address its customers’ growing demands for cybersecurity needs.

 Nexusguard’s Transformational Alliance Partner (TAP) program enables Communications Service Providers (CSPs) to not just safeguard its infrastructure from cyberattacks, but also to deploy and offer cost-effective DDoS mitigation services to its customers. More importantly, the program is designed to address the elements of People, Process and Technology necessary to build, deliver and profit from DDoS mitigation services, aiding in their transformation into the next-gen CSP. 

According to Nexusguard’s research. In the first quarter of the year, DDoS attacks rose more than 278% compared to Q1 2019 and more than 542% compared to the last quarter, according to Nexusguard’s Q1 2020 Threat Report. Researchers attribute the sharp rise in incidents to malicious efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing DDoS attacks to interrupt service for large companies and individuals alike. Internet service providers (ISPs) would face increasing challenges to curb undetectable and abnormal traffic before they turn into uncontrollable reflection attacks. In an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, working from home has become the new norm and household internet connectivity is more important than ever. This heavy reliance on online services has given rise to a trend of attacks meant to overwhelm ISPs.
