BNIX partners with NaWas to better protect organizations from Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
BNIX is partnering with Dutch National Laundry (NaWas) to protect organizations from DDoS attacks. With the partnership , companies connected to the Belgian Internet hub will have access to advanced technology that filters malicious traffic and ensures a more reliable and secure Belgian Internet.
Collaboration with NaWas
NaWas, a service of the Dutch National Internet Providers Management Organization Foundation, protects organizations by filtering suspicious data streams. DDoS attacks can overwhelm the traffic capacity of smaller parties, making them inaccessible to even legitimate traffic. NaWas has the capacity to filter such a DDoS attack and extract legitimate requests from it. Clean data is returned to the customer, guaranteeing that services remain available even during a DDoS attack.
BNIX customers, including Internet service providers, hosting companies and content providers, can use this technology through a private VLAN connection. In the event of an attack, traffic is redirected via the BGP routing protocol, purged by NaWas and then returned correctly. Once the attack stops, the normal traffic route is restored. BNIX alternative BelgiumIX already picked up on a similar collaboration a few years ago.

With the NaWas service, BNIX offers additional security for Belgian companies that depend on stable Internet connections. Frédéric Libotte of BNIX emphasizes that this helps customers get the most out of their connection and contributes to a more secure Internet.
Frank Dupker of NaWas adds that the connection via BNIX also provides a redundancy system for customers already connected via other Internet nodes.
