Solutions for protecting Australia’s campus networks, online assets and information from cyber threats.
Protecting your network and assets from cyber threats
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and other malicious cyber threats to network availability and information security are increasing in the research and education sector. We offer a portfolio of integrated cyber security services to help detect and manage threats and improve the security posture of the sector.

DDoS Detection |
Denial of Service (DDoS) Detection helps defend the AARNet network and our connected institutions from malicious cyber attacks. The AARNet Operations Centre is alerted within minutes of a suspected DDoS attack, 24x7.
