Fingerprint Sharing Alliance making the 'Net safer

"Arbor Networks, maker of the Peakflow Platform for network data analysis, has developed a cooperative with telecoms, data/networking companies, and ISPs around the world called the Fingerprint Sharing Alliance. The alliance is designed to let the different companies communicate rapidly and automatically with one another to fight Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and other types of attack. Arbor summarizes it as "A community for coordinated, rapid attack resolution."
