Title

Protection of Internet-facing eServices against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks

Business Needs / Challenges

Government departments will have more and more public facing websites / web applications for serving the public with some of them being critical services requiring high availability and would have great impact to the government and/or public should there be outage of their services.  Distributed Denial of Services (DDOS) is a category of attack which can bring down services by techniques as simple as bandwidth flooding to more sophisticated attack at the application layer level.  We want to source anti-DDOS solutions to protect government websites / web applications against various types of DDOS attack.   Since some web applications carry sensitive information, the anti-DDOS solutions required should not rely on transmission, processing or storage of any transaction data (unencrypted or encrypted) on public clouds.

Application Areas

Infrastructure

Expected Outcomes

We expect the solutions can protect public facing websites and web applications of government departments against DDOS attack in short response time to prevent interruption or outage of services.  Moreover, the proposed solution is expected to ensure protection of sensitive data and prevent data leakage to parties other than the senders and the application owners.
