AT&T Takes On DoS
Using technologies from partners and data from its global network, AT&T has launched a service to thwart denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks on corporate systems.

AT&T has integrated it with AT&T Internet Protect, a tool introduced three months ago to predict developing network intrusion threats and alert customers. AT&T said Internet Protect has seen early success, identifying harbingers of the Sasser worm weeks before it was fully launched: it was able to warn hundreds of customers and recommend solutions, which could be executed through a secure Web portal.
