Neos Networks launches DDoS Mitigation to strengthen business-critical connectivity


Posted by Harry Baldock, Reading, UK – 3rd July– Neos Networks, the UK’s leading provider of business connectivity, has today announced the launch of advanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation as an integrated feature of its Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) service.

This latest enhancement supports Neos’s growing secure networking proposition and responds directly to the demands of public sector and private businesses for resilient, high-capacity internet access with built-in security.

Powered by Corero’s industry-leading platform, the DDoS Mitigation service uses adaptive behavioural analytics to detect and neutralise attacks in real-time. By analysing traffic patterns and drawing on telemetry across multiple geographies, it proactively identifies malicious activity, stopping threats before they can disrupt customer operations. The service is hosted directly on Neos’s core infrastructure, able to be turned on for customers in close to real-time, with no need for customer-premises hardware.

The DDoS services are offered in a tiered model that allows customers to easily add or remove features as their requirements change: 
  • DDoS Mitigation – Always-on, real-time protection with auto-mitigation, weekly reports, and 24/7 monitoring for customer internet services.
  • DDoS Monitoring – Continuous traffic monitoring and monthly threat reports, with a fast upgrade path to DDoS Mitigation.
  • DDoS Standard – DDoS protected-core network included with all DIA circuits.
David Bruce, Chief Revenue Officer at Neos Networks, said: “Businesses are demanding DDoS protection by default – they want reliable, secure internet access, without needing to invest in or manage additional on-site infrastructure. Our latest enhancements reflect this shift in how organisations can access secure and reliable connectivity. Whether it’s a direct customer looking for peace of mind, or a wholesale partner aiming to offer added value without the complexity, our tiered DDoS offering provides the flexibility and simplicity they need.”

This launch builds on Neos’s broader DIA connectivity portfolio, offering 10Gbps bandwidths with management options for fully managed and wires-only services. Neos provides a range of IP addressing options and offers robust Cloud Connect services, delivering private connectivity to many Cloud Service Providers, including AWS and Azure. All these services are quotable and orderable in minutes on LIVEQUOTE.

TAFFT launches feed manufacturing plant in Tseminyu

Tepzen Agro-Food & Farmtech officially launched its new feed manufacturing plant at Tesophenyu, Tseminyu district on July 30.

Tepzen Agro-Food & Farmtech (TAFFT) officially launched its new feed manufacturing plant at Tesophenyu, Tseminyu district on July 30. The inauguration was graced by the Deputy Commissioner of Tseminyu, Japheth Woch, who formally inaugurated the facility.

Addressing the gathering, DC Woch lauded the initiative and acknowledged the challenges involved in establishing such an enterprise. He emphasised that starting a business does not necessarily require capital, but rather courage and determination. “All successful ventures begin small and nothing grows overnight,” he said, encouraging the team to remain focused on their goals despite life’s challenges.

He further observed that many people in Nagaland tend to replicate others’ business ventures instead of exploring new opportunities. Urging the public to be bold and innovative, he stressed the importance of engaging in farming and supporting local enterprises. Noting that the factory sources its materials locally, he pointed out that farmers from the area stood to benefit directly by supplying their produce. “We are all interconnected; collective effort is key to growth,” he added.

Dr Renabeni Tep, Managing Director of TAFFT, recounted her journey from pig farming to feed production in 2021. She shared that increased demand for quality feed led to the initiation of the project in 2024, which had now come to fruition. Highlighting the company’s four main components, feed industry, training or technology transfer centre, low-cost model farms for youth and women, and agro-food production, Dr Tep noted that the training centre was the first of its kind in Nagaland.

She added that the company’s feed machines are of world-class standard and that their product had received an A-grade certification. Emphasising that no growth promoters are used, she assured that health and safety remain top priorities. Blending modern nutrition with traditional methods, TAFFT’s approach had also earned them an innovation award. She appealed for public support to help the initiative grow further.

Chairman of Tesophenyu New, Shentheyi Kath, extended his gratitude to the TAFFT team for setting up the facility in the district. He said the plant had brought recognition to the district and encouraged the public to promote the district’s development by supporting such ventures.TAFFT feeds are currently being distributed across several parts of Nagaland, with positive feedback from end users who reported improved livestock health and growth.
