Golden Boar Alderney Limited, an online casino, is located in the British Channels Islands yet hosts practice sites in Asia. The company was growing increasingly concerned about reports of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against online gaming companies in China, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
Hackers launch DDoS attacks to prevent legitimate use of service, such as fl ooding a network with spam email or disrupting connections between machines to deny users access.
These attacks are also used to extort money from businesses by threatening an attack if payment is not made. In this way, any company that relies on the Web to reach customers is a potential target.
Network engineers at Golden Boar were determined to prevent DDoS attacks so when it came time to add an additional practice site in Singapore, the company chose Tata Communications’ Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), a high-speed Internet solution built on a global Tier-1 IP backbone that offered sophisticated bundled security options.
Available 24 hours a day, DIA service provided Golden Boar with multiple bandwidth speeds and reliable service backed by best-in-class Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guaranteeing 100 percent network uptime, and zero latency and packet drop.
Security options included Managed Firewall Service, and Managed DDoS Detection and Mitigation to protect against potential cyber threats and attacks. Golden Boar also chose hosted colocation services.
Proactive, Real-time Threat Monitoring
Staying on top of threat levels is especially critical for online gaming operations where losses can quickly spiral into the millions in the case of a DDoS attack.

For this reason, Tata Communications’ round-the-clock network and security operations centers now monitor Golden Boar’s network infrastructure. In this way, Golden Boar stays focused on running its casino operations while Tata Communications delivers protected service.
To ensure that Golden Boar is fully aware of threat levels and risks, Tata Communications provides access to a security portal for real-time reporting and advanced security assessments.
