How to protect against a DDoS attack?
I have a question about defending against DDoS attacks. My ISP charges a large penny for service to protect me from DDoS attacks, it's basically the same amount for my internet, and it's not cheap. Besides buying hardware, does anyone recommend any online companies that can provide the same kind of service as my ISP, but at a descent cost?
What other options do I have, or does anyone recommend a good solution?

I was going to look into cloudfare and akamai, I'll contact Radware. Basically, I just want to know if I have any wholes I need to close, just in general, to make my network less hackable, or more secure.

Thanks for the info, I'm checking out a few different places you mentioned, and a few others.
If you are looking at deploying from a defense in depth perspective, you can check with your hardware vendors to determine if they have either recommended configurations or deployable options.
It's kind of a broad question and difficult to answer without really understanding what your goals and acceptable models would be.
