The center in Madrid, Spain is the latest addition to GTT\u2019s global DDoS protection platform, which includes 10 scrubbing centers across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. The GTT platform uses Corero\u2019s next-generation DDoS technology, within GTT\u2019s global Tier 1 internet protocol backbone, to detect and filter out malicious traffic and complex threats in the network core, in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>The new facility in Spain expands the reach of GTT\u2019s scrubbing centers worldwide and strengthens its global network. Madrid, a crucial data center hub with a <a href=\"http:\/\/spaindc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpainDC_Report_Q4_21_en.pdf\">strategic international position connecting Spain with Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific<\/a>, serves as an ideal location for the scrubbing center. GTT\u2019s investment will improve network and security capabilities for its customers in the region, mitigating attacks close to the source without impacting traffic latency.<\/p>\n<p>According to Corero, 2022 was another record-setting year for network-based DDoS attacks, which overwhelm the available bandwidth of targeted victims. Corero&#8217;s security research team highlighted a 39% increase in multi-vector spread spectrum pulse attacks that are designed to circumvent legacy DDoS detection and protection capabilities.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe expansion of our worldwide DDoS protection platform, integrated with our\u00a0global Tier 1 internet backbone, creates a formidable defense for our customers againstthreats to their networks that have been increasing in size and complexity\u201d said James Karimi, CISO and CIO at GTT. \u201cOur newest scrubbing center in Spain is ideally positioned for the huge amounts of internet traffic that flow into this key digital hub, ensuring our high-capacity internet customers are protected from the growing threat of cyberattacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout 2022, DDoS\u00a0attacks became increasingly sophisticated, while at the same time, the\u00a0DDoS\u00a0attack surface expanded,\u201d said Ashley Stephenson, CTO at Corero Network Security. \u201cWith the number of recorded attacks on the rise and significant shifts in attackers\u2019 motives and goals, we are delighted to expand our longstanding partnership with GTT, ensuring their customers have the most robust DDoS defense in place.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information on how customers can prevent DDoS attacks, visit our blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtt.net\/gb-en\/resources\/blog\/5-tips-for-defending-against-ddos-attacks\">5 Tips for Defending Against DDoS Attacks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtt.net\/us-en\/attacks-happen-defend-with-ddos?utm_source=single%20send&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=2023%20q1%20enterprise%20attacks%20happen%20defend%20with%20ddos%20post%20webinar&amp;mkt_tok=NTYxLVVFVC03OTkAAAGKItTU527eJfaITLuhhahn_8UDl4ABiCqrKjqm2XLt1ZJf-U3qkNoSkLHMMqr7W4t-UrjEX4VEUvs6s-T-1VNr4xgS_rA7kISmcvfpbYrbtQ\">watch the webinar \u201cAttacks Happen \u2013 Defend with DDoS\u201d on demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>About GTT<\/h3>\n<p>GTT is a managed network and security services provider to global organizations.
