Since the ISP (Internet Service Provider) serves as the point of entry for all traffic arriving at the user's computer or mobile device, it is the first barrier against the large number of threats that impact individuals, small businesses, and organizations around Nigeria and the world. The filtering and shielding of harmful traffic start at the ISP network.

Connection point for all internet connections
All types of internet connections, mobile broadband, fiber, and wireless, pass through Cyber Security Service providers in Nigeria. At that point, the ISP can identify and prevent potentially harmful traffic from entering the user's network through advanced filtering and other tools. Many of the cyber threats, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, malware, botnets, and phishing, are identified and blocked at the ISP level through these advanced filtering tools.
Foundational security features
All internet users benefit passively from the inclusion of these types of security services in their internet subscriptions, even if most internet users do not realise they are using the Cybersecurity Service Provider in Nigeria. This baseline level of security helps protect millions of internet users from infection and cyber attacks who otherwise would not have the ability to obtain advanced-level cybersecurity programs and/or tools.
Identify and respond to security threats
The nature of cybersecurity attacks has changed significantly over time, and as a result, ISPs utilise very large and comprehensive security systems to monitor and analyse traffic patterns in real time. Once an ISP identifies an attack, the ISP, like Layer3, has the ability to isolate and/or disconnect the malicious IP address or remove the compromised segment of the network, therefore providing a much faster response time and minimizing the amount of damage that occurs.
Advanced cybersecurity solutions for businesses and enterprises
With advanced specialized cyber security services provided by ISPs, businesses benefit from having their cyber security management handled by professionals rather than relying solely on in-house teams. In this way, ISPs can serve as both connectivity providers and security partners, providing a more integrated cybersecurity solution and enhancing the digital ecosystem throughout Nigeria.
