service update

Recently, one of our customers experienced a targeted volumetric DDoS attack. The attack was successfully mitigated by our DDoS Mitigation Service, but became so powerful at a certain point that some of the Belnet network's uplinks became saturated.

The Belnet DDoS Mitigation service was extended earlier this year with a new monitoring and reporting tool, DDoS Dashboard and Reporting. This aims to give users a better overview of DDoS attacks as they occur and also allows them to generate their own reports easily.

At the end of June, Belnet has completed the reinforcement of its infrastructure to greatly improve the availability and resilience of its services and applications. This renewal, involving the use of a third data centre, offers new prospects for the development of current and future services.

Your monitoring graphs, your tickets and all your administrative and contractual information will be accessible from 1 July from all your digital interfaces via a new, fully responsive version of the Belnet Portal.

When the Belgian State Security Service website was left unprotected for several hours last December because a certificate was not renewed on time, it was an embarrassing reminder of the importance of keeping digital certificates up to date.

Belnet is fully committed to protecting its customers even more effectively against possible online security problems. So from 1 February onwards, it will implement its Belnet Intelligent DNS and Belnet Threat Intelligence services in close collaboration with the Centre for Cyber security Belgium.
