Onyx announce partnership with leading DDoS solution provider

Onyx Group have today announced an exciting new partnership with Sentrix to deliver a game-changing website security solution to businesses throughout the UK in the fight against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (DDoS).

A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to make a server or a network resource unavailable to users, usually by interrupting or suspending the services of a host connected to the Internet. The attacks have proved to be the most costly and concerning forms of cybercrime throughout the business world, accounting for 55% of all cybercrime costs per organization on an annual basis.

Sentrix have designed a breakthrough, cloud-based web security solution that protects websites against attacks, prevents hackers from compromising sensitive data, and mitigates DDoS that may cause downtime and severe brand damage. Sentrix Cloud-DMZ solution creates an active cloud-replica that mirrors the customer’s original website, thus eliminates over 99% of the website’s potential attack surface, which means that hackers have nearly no way to pass through to the origin site.

Following the large number of high-profile attacks being reported in the media, Neil Stephenson, CEO of Onyx Group, feels it is was the perfect time to bring one of the industry’s most highly-regarded DDoS protection agents to the UK market: “In todays connected world, businesses continue to be victimised by attackers that persist in becoming more creative and sophisticated in their techniques to reach corporate resources and data. Just as little as six weeks ago we saw numerous high-profile businesses suffer DDoS attacks on Christmas Day.”

“We have experienced the Sentrix solution firsthand and were highly impressed by its innovative approach to protecting websites from attacks. Sentrix Cloud-DMZ has proven in protecting enterprise websites from a wide range of web attacks. The solution can be deployed in rapid time and its user-friendly interface makes it time-effective for our customers so they can spend time on what is most important to them; their business”, added Stephenson.
