The National Small Business Association (NBSA) recently released a report revealing that half of all small businesses have been the victim of a cyber-attack – and the cost of dealing with these attacks has skyrocketed to $20,752 per attack. In about a third of attacks, the victim’s website was taken down, often for days. The impact of such outages cannot be measured by the immediate lost revenue alone, as the long term impact of the harm to your reputation and customer loss cannot be easily calculated.
To help celebrate National Small Business Week, today we’re excited to announce the second round of our #InternetOfficial contest First Prize Winners!

Verisign outlined its vision for a revolutionary new approach to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection by announcing the availability of the Verisign OpenHybrid™ architecture, which helps organizations protect their critical assets and applications across distributed environments from DDoS attacks, using a single solution. By integrating intelligence from a customer’s existing security defenses, Verisign OpenHybrid™ provides timely detection and restoration of services in the event of an attack, while providing increased visibility of DDoS threats across multiple environments such as private datacenters and public clouds.
In an earlier blog post on the topic, I noted the increasing scale and complexity of DDoS attacks, and the strong need for organizations to enable awareness and mitigation of attacks across on-premise devices, in addition to both public and private cloud environments using standards based open protocols.
Today we are pleased to announce two important updates in our path toward enabling open DDoS protection: the availability of Verisign OpenHybrid™ for Corero SmartWall TDS and Verisign OpenHybrid™ for customers hosted in the Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud.
