    IBM Cloud Internet Services
    Get DDoS protection; global load balancing; and a suite of security, reliability and performance capabilities designed to protect public-facing web content and applications before they reach the cloud. From a high level, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is like a traffic jam clogging up a highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination. A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of internet traffic. IBM Cloud Internet Services is a simple set of edge network services for clients looking to secure their internet-facing applications from DDoS attacks, data theft and bot attacks, and for those clients needing to optimize their web applications, or ensure global responsiveness and the ongoing availability of their internet-facing applications.

    DxOdyssey
    DxOdyssey is lightweight software built on patented technology that enables you to create highly available application-level micro-tunnels across any mix of locations and platforms. And it does so more easily, more securely, and more discreetly than any other solution on the market. Using DxOdyssey puts you on a path to zero trust security and helps networking and security admins secure multi-site & multi-cloud operations. The network perimeter has evolved. And DxOdyssey’s unVPN technology is designed with this in mind. Old VPN and direct link approaches are cumbersome to maintain and open up the entire network to lateral movement. DxOdyssey takes a more secure approach, giving users app-level access rather than network-level access, reducing attack surface. And it does all of this with the most secure and performant approach to create a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) to grant connectivity to distributed apps and clients running across multiple sites, clouds, and domains.
