DOSarrest Internet Security Reviews

DOSarrest Internet Security Ltd., founded in 2007 by Mark Teolis in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, was a specialized cybersecurity firm focused on providing cloud-based Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services. The company emerged from Teolis's experience in the hosting industry, recognizing the need for external DDoS mitigation solutions. DOSarrest developed a comprehensive, multi-layered security platform designed to protect websites, network infrastructure, APIs, and mobile application servers from various cyber threats, particularly HTTP/HTTPS attacks on ports 80 and 443. Their services included fully managed DDoS protection, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) based on a positive security model, Content Delivery Network (CDN) for performance enhancement, global and local load balancing, website monitoring, vulnerability testing (VTO), and a Cyber Attack Preparation Platform (CAPP). DOSarrest owned and operated its global infrastructure, featuring globally distributed nodes and a network capacity stated at 3Tbps (as of early 2020s). Their target audience included organizations across sectors like finance, government, utilities, e-commerce, gaming, media, education, and healthcare, essentially any entity reliant on the continuous availability of their online presence. Key selling points included their fully managed service model, proprietary infrastructure, 24/7 support, PCI Level 1 certification, and extensive experience in DDoS mitigation since 2007. In January 2021, DOSarrest was acquired by Link11 GmbH, a German cybersecurity provider, to expand Link11's global reach and service capabilities.
