service update

As of June 1, Belnet will be hosting eduVPN. eduVPN offers secure access to protected services when accessing from outside your institution's network.

From 1 April, discover our new Belnet Advanced DNS Security service, an DNS protection service on the cutting edge of cybersecurity available to all organisations connected to our network.

As we come to the end of the year, it's time for our editorial team to take stock of 2021; a year, once again, rich in a wide variety of topics and articles. This summary will give you an overview, in chronological order, of the most read and clicked articles in our newsletter.

Recently, one of our customers experienced a targeted volumetric DDoS attack. The attack was successfully mitigated by our DDoS Mitigation Service, but became so powerful at a certain point that some of the Belnet network's uplinks became saturated.

The Belnet DDoS Mitigation service was extended earlier this year with a new monitoring and reporting tool, DDoS Dashboard and Reporting. This aims to give users a better overview of DDoS attacks as they occur and also allows them to generate their own reports easily.

At the end of June, Belnet has completed the reinforcement of its infrastructure to greatly improve the availability and resilience of its services and applications. This renewal, involving the use of a third data centre, offers new prospects for the development of current and future services.
