As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the security in the services delivered through the DeepKnowledge Library Management Platform, we are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Arbor Networks, a leading internet security firm, in order to further strengthen our network and applications security
DDos stands for Distributed Denial of Service, which is a technique malicious entities use to flood network infrastructure and target websites with a large amount of traffic distributed over a large amount of infected machines across the world in order to slow down access. The mitigation service we have put in place automatically detects these types of attacks and re-routes malicious traffic into different scrubbing networks, which enables the online services to remain online and unaffected
The following Diagram describes the extra 3 protection layers we have put in place recently
In today’s word and the current security context and landscape, protection against all types of attacks and intrusions is critically important for any online service, and we at DeepKnowledge consider security at the top of our priorities
Some of the immediate benefits of the enhanced security services are
Multi-layered protections
The network is secure with layered protections, from network wide packet scanning, through granular traffic analysis, down to server-level anomaly detection, for the most comprehensive protection against volumetric DDoS attacks, network and session layer attacks, DNS attacks, and more.
Avoid Downtime
The network is secure with layered protections, from network wide packet scanning, through granular traffic analysis, down to server-level anomaly detection, for the most comprehensive protection against volumetric DDoS attacks, network and session layer attacks, DNS attacks, and more.
Immediate Response
DDoS specialists we work with stay ahead of ongoing or imminent DDoS attacks with on-premises detection and 24x7x365 traffic monitoring to initiate mitigation measures and take the necessary actions when anomalous traffic is identified
In technical terms, the following types of DDoS can be detected
CGI request, denial of capability, diluted low-rate degrading, direct, DNS request attack, high-rate, disruptive, hybrid attack, ICMP attack, isotropic attack traffic distribution, land attack, Xmas tree, mail bomb, non-isotropic attack traffic distribution, ping of death, reflector, TCP reset, TCP SYN flooding, TCP SYN-ACK, TCP URGPSH, TCP idle attack, CC attack, teardrop attack, HTTP GET floods, HTTP POST floods, SIP invite floods, UDP flooding, URL flood, LOIC and HOIC DNS/NTP/SSDP/RIPv1 and other reflection/amplification attacks, slow POST, varied rate, using regex filters

You can now bulk import users and send them their access details by email just in a few clicks.
Head to the Users option in the Control center, scroll all the way down and click on “Import users from Excel”
You will then see the import page which explains what are the steps necessary in order to upload and import into your institutional account a list of user accounts and send them individual emails (which is an automated step)
Make sure that you download the xls template first, that you have to use during the user accounts import process.
After uploading the file, the system will automatically determine valid records that can be imported into your institutional account, based on several factors (email validity, missing data…), then you get to select settings related to the import and customize the message that will be sent via email.
For more information on the bulk import feature, please get in touch with our support at support@techknowledge.ae
