BGProtect helps protect nations, government agencies, and large organizations from IP hijackings. The company can identify all types of IP hijacking attacks regardless of the technique being used, including data-plane hijacking (e.g. changing the routing table). BGProtect has installed hundreds of software agents in machines worldwide to actively monitor client-directed routes, without any privacy or confidentiality issues. The information gathered from each agent is analyzed using a proprietary big-data analytics engine with custom anomaly-detection algorithms. Once an attack is identified, a warning is sent to customers and corrective actions can be taken.
