Cable TV Leader Dan Bemis Takes the Reigns of I.T. Security Firm CentraComm to Lead Cable TV Industry Fight Against Denial-of-Service Attacks across Broadband Networks.

FINDLAY, Ohio -- CentraComm President and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Bemis, is leading a new effort for cable TV operators to address increasing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks across their broadband networks. The most common cyber warfare tool utilized today, DDoS attacks are a problem that is costly, vexing and mission critical to all cable customers.

A seasoned telecommunications veteran with nearly 20 years of sales, operations, business development and customer service experience, Bemis understands the impact these online security issues have for every consumer and content provider, especially the cable broadband provider. While the cost of breaking into computer systems and launching attacks is minimal, significant expenditures are required to address the widespread collateral damage left in the wake of DDoS events. Not only are the websites and systems supporting the target negatively impacted, so are the sources of the attack, the service providers on either side of the attack, and non-targeted users of both the attacked site and those service providers in the path of the attack.

CentraComm arms companies with the security tools and round-the-clock global support needed to prevent, minimize and manage exposure to IT network attacks and intrusions by hackers. Although DDoS attacks may be considered Security 101, companies are still not employing adequate identification and remediation methods to address the issue. This is further complicated by disparate systems now being operated by single regional broadband providers.

DDoS attacks heavily tax broadband providers who are charged with closely monitoring their networks to identify DDoS activity and report sources of intrusion. Under Bemis, CentraComm intends to enlist MSOs in the fight to protect both enterprise and residential customers from these security attacks, while managing costs.

"Attacks on popular social networking and commercial websites via botnets, malware and new viruses are becoming increasingly common. CentraComm's comprehensive penetration testing, forensic reviews, IT security products and highly skilled, dedicated team of experts address the significant issues plaguing broadband providers," said Bemis.
