IoTPlus in Action: Prevent DDoS Attacks Resulting in Missing Data

Problem

An artificial lift company needed a solution to provide a secure link between remote pump systems for oil production and their operations and control center to monitor and track critical data from the field. The customer’s existing LTE connections were unsecure and continually being hacked by distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, leading to data overages and missing data transmissions.

Solution

CyberReef deployed a hosted Private Network and used private static IPs with carrier-agnostic rate plans to keep their IPs from being accessed over the public internet, eliminating the attacks and rogue data consumption. Now, they’re able to securely capture and send data over the cellular network to control centers as well as to cloud-based data centers to share with oil well owners.
