Just like your anti virus software always needs updates because the virus makers keep getting smarter. The same analogy applies. Most hosting companies have hardware in place. However when an attack happens it doesn't mean there is 100% percent protection.

The hardware works great for "large attacks", depending on what your definition of it is. I had a 700mbit syn flood attack at theplanet a while back and the attack was blocked and filtered within 15 minutes
