DDoS Testing for Telecom & ISPs
Validate Network Resilience at Scale
Telecom providers and ISPs sit on the front line of the internet – and on the front line of the largest DDoS attacks.
Yet even with carrier-grade mitigation in place, most networks are never truly tested under real-world attack conditions.
Red Button delivers controlled, large-scale DDoS simulations designed specifically for telecom environments – so you can validate resilience across your backbone, peering, and customer-facing infrastructure without risking stability.
Whether you’re protecting your core network, validating mitigation vendors, or preventing customer-impacting outages – we help you prove your defenses actually work.
DDoS Attacks on ISPs Are Different—
Your Testing Should Be Too
DDoS attacks targeting ISPs operate at a fundamentally different layer than enterprise attacks.
Common attack objectives include:
These behaviors are not accurately replicated by synthetic tools or application-focused testing.
Red Button simulates carrier-scale, multi-vector attacks that validate resilience across routing,
capacity, and mitigation layers—under real-world conditions.

FAQ
No. Testing is carefully planned and executed in a controlled manner, with safeguards to prevent disruption.
Yes. Our simulations are designed to reflect the scale and complexity of ISP-level attacks.
Yes. A key part of our service is validating real-world effectiveness of third-party protection.
We simulate real attack traffic under live conditions, with distributed botnet and carrier-scale attack rates—revealing issues that lab tests and synthetic tools miss.
At least annually, and after major network changes, vendor changes, or significant traffic growth.
