DDoS protection isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Choosing the right solution depends on your industry, threat profile, needs and objectives. We are here to provide you the insight to make the right decision.

Brute-force attacks aren’t just a password problem; they’re an infrastructure problem. High-volume login attempts can overwhelm your systems, lock out legitimate users, and disrupt business operations. Traditional Zero Trust and access control solutions often add to the complexity, introducing latency, reboots, and management overhead.

Enter Zero Trust Admission Control (ZTAC), a smarter, stateless approach that delivers Zero Trust outcomes without the complexity. ZTAC moves beyond stateful inspection to provide real-time access validation that scales effortlessly, applies policy updates instantly, and shields your VPNs, firewalls, routers, and APIs from abuse, all without slowing down performance.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How brute-force traffic exploits infrastructure and why traditional controls fail under pressure

Why stateless architecture is key to real-time, continuous validation without bottlenecks

The operational benefits: proactive blocking, fewer false positives, and no reboots

How ZTAC simplifies Zero Trust deployment with instant, policy-driven protection

Real-world use cases showing ZTAC in action protecting critical access points

Join us to see how you can achieve actual Zero Trust outcomes, faster, simpler, and stronger.

Who should attend: Security architects, network engineers, and IT leaders seeking a scalable, low-friction approach to Zero Trust access protection.

Zero Trust Outcomes, Minus the Complexity

You’ve heard the strategy. You understand the benefits. You know Corero and HPE-Networks edge-based protection delivers second mitigation times, while traditional solutions take minutes. 

You’ve seen the customer results—TierPoint, Plusnet, Linode.
But knowing it works and seeing how it works are two very different things.
That’s why we want to show you.
On January 22, Nick Davey and Jason McEachin will pull back the curtain on the technology. You’ll watch real attacks being detected in real time. You’ll see the intelligence layer identifying malicious traffic patterns. You’ll observe the orchestration layer directing Juniper routers to apply precise filters. And you’ll witness the complete cycle—from attack injection to automated mitigation—happening in seconds, not minutes.
No slides. No theory. Just live infrastructure, real attacks, and actual protection.
This is what power WITH focus looks like in action.

Power Without Focus Is Folly: Live DDoS Defense Demonstrations

From Complexity to Clarity: Multi-Tenant Layer 7 Protection Without the Overhead

DDoS attacks are no longer just about flooding networks. Attackers are now aiming higher, at the application layer (Layer 7), where user experience, APIs, and business availability intersect. These low-volume, high-impact threats can quietly disable applications, overwhelm login pages, and disrupt critical APIs without triggering traditional volumetric defenses.

In this first session of The Modern DDoS Defense Series, Michael Honeycutt, Product Marketing Manager, and Raj Vadi, Senior Solutions Architect at Corero, explain how Layer 7 attacks differ from traditional network floods,  and why they’ve become the weapon of choice for modern attackers.

You’ll learn:

- The role of Layer 7 in the OSI model and why it’s now a prime target.
- How encryption and application logic are exploited to bypass detection.
- Real-world examples like HTTP floods, DNS water torture, and API abuse.
- Why traditional defenses that stop at L3/L4 aren’t enough.

Start your journey beyond network flooding, and gain a clear understanding of the application-layer threat landscape and how to defend it effectively.

Not All DDoS Is Volumetric: Why Your Network Needs Deeper Packet Inspection for Real Protection

Most DDoS defenses are built to fight floods of massive volumetric attacks that are loud and obvious. But the most dangerous threats often fly under the radar. Short-burst, low-volume, application-layer, and state exhaustion attacks can cripple services without ever triggering volumetric alarms.

In this session, we’ll explore why deeper packet inspection (DPI) is essential to identify and mitigate the full range of modern DDoS attacks. You’ll learn how traditional solutions fall short and how intelligent, real-time traffic inspection equips your network to:

Defend against brief, short-duration attacks 

Defend against protocol abuse and application-layer threats.

Maintain availability without impacting legitimate users.

You can strengthen your layered security posture.

Whether you're a service provider, enterprise security lead, or network architect, this webinar will challenge conventional thinking and arm you with practical strategies for smarter, more resilient DDoS defense.
