What: "Gain Control Over the Internet"
Threats to online operations include Denial of Service
attacks, application-level penetration, protocol exploits,
viruses, worms, physical disasters, and system failure. While
point solutions can be employed to address individual threats,
one single solution provides an effective means of mitigating
all such risks in a highly effective manner, while also
improving performance and scalability: a globally distributed
applications infrastructure. Enterprises and government
agencies can today take advantage of a distributed
applications infrastructure to secure their online perimeter.
