ISPA Senior-Level Roundtable – Security as an Enabler | 22nd April 2025

Titled, Security as an enabler: How strengthening network security can improve commercial proposition, the roundtable – hosted by ISPA alongside partner Corero – will bring together senior executives for a critical, closed-door discussion. The session will focus on  the changing threat landscape, bolstering resilience in the face of increasing DDoS activity, and how operators are adapting to this evolving threat as their networks scale.

We’ll also explore how some providers are turning resilience into a clearer customer proposition, including approaches to offering DDoS protection as a service through tiering, reporting and communications.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with peers, share knowledge, and shape the future of network security. The roundtable will focus on:

• The rise of short, high-volume burst attacks: Operational and customer impact, and where providers feel most exposed as traffic volumes and expectations increase.
• Preparing networks for the future: Protecting availability without adding operational burden as attacks grow more sophisticated.
• The hidden cost of DDoS: Churn risk, brand impact and customer experience— beyond the immediate outage.

Service differentiation: What “good” looks like for customer-facing reporting, SLAs and packaging DDoS protection for different customer segments.
