Internet Protect®
AT&T Internet Protect is a security alerting and notification service that offers advanced information regarding potential real-time attacks (viruses, worms and distributed denial of service or DDoS attacks) that are in the early formation stages. AT&T Internet Protect uses the AT&T IP backbone as a proxy of general Internet traffic. The service provides valuable real-time analysis of Internet traffic, which customers can use to predict and prevent malicious traffic from infecting their network. Using the web-based Information Security Portal, AT&T notifies customers regarding identified critical malicious activity and recommends immediate action to be taken by the customer. AT&T DDoS Defense option provides DDoS identification and mitigation within AT&T's backbone, providing you with increased protection from malicious traffic before it reaches your network.
Internet security experts have recognized AT&T Internet Protect as a leading security offer, based largely on its success in recognizing and offering prevention tips for threats before they materialize. AT&T culls information from the extensive AT&T IP backbone which is one of the largest in the world. It performs real time examination of over 2.5 petabytes of daily network to identify malicious activity from the Internet.
AT&T Internet Protect analyzes Internet traffic heuristics and statistical models to predict and profile potential malicious activity. This information is provided to customers via the Information Security Portal, who can use it to filter real-time and potential attacks.
