Barry Dykes, ViaWest Inc

Barry Dykes has more than 20 years of Internet industry experience. Previously as VP of Engineering/Operations for ViaWest, he was responsible for all networking and security functions. Dykes has developed and implemented firewall, VPN, load-balancing, routing and switching products for ViaWest customers and was responsible for all backbone and data center design (internal, complex-customers, and production). During his 13 years at ViaWest, he successfully guided the ViaWest backbone through 6 major overhauls, ensuring the stability and scalability of the infrastructure that connects ViaWest, its customers and the Internet together. This was done with no measurable impact to customers through each phase. Barry has also held positions with Qwest, Genuity, MCI and OneSecure. With Qwest, he defined and developed their Cyber-Centers as well as a comprehensive Network-based VPN offering that utilized IPSec and other protocols. He worked with various vendors to develop methods of address conservation (VLAN-aggregation RFC 3069 and VPN ID’s utilized by a number of Network-based VPN vendors). During his tenure with Genuity Inc, a leading Tier 1 Internet Service Provider, he performed as Senior Network Architect and played an intricate role in the design and implementation of their Wide Area Network and defined policies, including IGP and BGP. Barry was key to the building of InternetMCI’s first Internet Network Operations Center during his employment with MCI. He provided both training and expert troubleshooting of complex networking issues as well as monitored, troubleshot and restored both customer and backbone circuits in bandwidths from Fractional T1’s to Optical Carriers. Please note the following resume which will provide detailed information regarding Barry Dykes employment history.

Abstract: Basically, we have done tons at ViaWest to deal with the increase in DDoS attacks that we have seen at the end of 2013. Our approach has been a little difference since we couldn't really find a cloud or hardware vendor that "just made it all fit together" and work in an automated fashion. From detecting an attack independently of our network devices (we did not all a cloud vendor to have access to our routers like many ask for) to automatically swinging an attack to a cloud provider without personnel interaction. We have basically automated every part of dealing with an attack.
