“We’re excited to work on this project with StormWall. StormWall's DDoS protection is one of the most advanced in the market, and we believe our partnership will go a long way toward reducing the threat of DDoS attacks in the Asia-Pacific. This is the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration,” said Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna, the CEO of IDCloudHost.

IDCloudHost's partnership with StormWall to launch DDOS protection services is one of the Indonesian cloud server and web hosting provider’s commitments to lower the threat of cyberattacks on cloud servers in the Asia-Pacific.

The new PoP allows StormWall to offer Asia-Pacific companies robust protection for website DDoS, TCP/UDP applications and networks, as well as provide web application firewall. StormWall’s proprietary Triple Filter system effectively detects spam traffic and blocks it from reaching servers without losing legitimate packets. A network bandwidth of 2500 Gbit/s sufficiently protects against even powerful botnets.

“We are extremely proud of our ongoing progress. In order to provide our customers with the best protection, we are not only working on improving our AI-based traffic filtering technology, but also expanding our geographic footprint, as physical proximity to servers is critical to minimizing latency,” said Ramil Khantimirov, StormWall CEO and founder.

“Of course, our point of presence in Singapore, which became possible thanks to our partnership with IDCloudHost, will help not only provide customers from the region with dependable DDoS protection, but also increase the resistance of the entire network, and for many users, sites connected to StormWall protection will load even faster than before.”

StormWall’s servers in the Asia-Pacific are hosted by the Equinix SG3 Singapore Data Center, located in rooms with carefully controlled temperatures, which guarantees optimal performance at all times.

Equinix is a trusted data center provider based in Silicon Valley that has been helping industry-leading organizations to interconnect since 1998. Its Singapore facility is among the most advanced in the region, and features internet exchange points with access to one of the world's three largest internet hubs in Southeast Asia to provide ultra-low latency connections.

For StormWall clients, this means that switching to the protected network will cause almost imperceptible delays that will not affect their business’s normal operation, even under peak loads caused by DDoS attacks.

More information on protecting against DDoS attacks is available on IDCloudHost’s dedicated webpage (idcloudhost.com/antiddos-server/).

Historically, the Asia-Pacific is one of the regions most affected by DDoS attacks. In the third quarter of 2022, Singapore experienced more L3/4 DDoS attacks than anywhere else in the world. China is the third most attacked country, and Taiwan has also seen heavy DDoS activity.

DDoS attacks are a constant threat for any online business. Studies show that around 70 percent of organizations have been targeted by such attacks in the last 12 months. A successful attack can be a company’s worst nightmare, as it can paralyze a company’s entire internet infrastructure. Bad actors use DDoS attacks to demand ransom from targeted companies, as downtime leads to losses as well as heavily impacts a company’s reputation, followed by costly recovery.
