Black Lotus Launches DDoS-protected Cloud Services Powered by OnApp

LONDON, UK – November 29, 2012 – Black Lotus Communications, one of the pioneers of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation technologies in the U.S., has launched a new range of cloud services powered by OnApp, for enterprise clients and small and medium-sized businesses.

Black Lotus pioneered the first commercially viable DDoS mitigation system in 1999, just weeks after the first known DDoS attacks. Today Black Lotus offers a range of DDoS mitigation and DDoS-protected hosting services, including cloud servers and bare metal servers powered by the OnApp Cloud platform. Its new cloud services feature Black Lotus' patent-pending Human Behaviour Analysis (HBA) system.

“We came to OnApp because we have hosting customers, small-to-medium businesses, that require cloud instances – very simple, affordable clouds," said Jeff Lyon, president of Black Lotus, in a video released today. "But we also have enterprise customers who require Layer 7 DDoS mitigation, and we can also power that through OnApp, by running our HBA engine on an OnApp cloud.”

Black Lotus' Human Behaviour Analysis (HBA) engine detects and blocks malicious connections in order to mitigate Layer 7 (application layer) DDoS attacks. Black Lotus now makes HBA and other DDoS mitigation technologies available as part of its cloud hosting service, running on the OnApp Cloud platform.

"With our HBA mitigation technology, we’re pioneering the case study," Jeff adds. "OnApp is not just for the hosting provider, it’s also for the enterprise, or it’s also for that hybrid company - the hosting company moving into the enterprise."

Black Lotus was recently named a finalist in the Government Security News 2012 Homeland Security Awards for its HBA technology. Its new DDoS-protected cloud services, featuring HBA, are available now.
