MenuWhich CDN would you recommend for bot detection?
- Distil Network?
- Incapsula?
- Something else?
Answers
Distil Networks is more like a CDN (Content Delivery Network), so every traffic to customers website should pass through Distil server. In other words you have to point your DNS to their CDN (that can potentially bring down your site). They keep analyzing your website through out and if the traffic is found malicious they block.
As you asked about competitors, ShieldSquare as a potential alternative, offers following benefits over Distil:
Non-intrusive API integration that will not affect your website performance and uptime.
Zero False Positives that will ensure that your genuine users are never troubled.
I can offer more direction if I know more about your environment.

Distil Networks is one of the leaders in this space. They have a good product, although it does add one more layer of complexity to your stack (especially if you already use a CDN). I'd suggest you look at Fastly's offering - they have partnered up with PerimeterX to provide Fastly CDN + Fastly WAF + PerimeterX bot detection all in one package.
I have used CloudFlare for the last year to protect my web site from attacks.
CloudFlare’s technology automatically detects new attacks that arise against any website on its network.

We need to certify our start up with the best , most advanced healthcare information security vendors. Any ideas of the best start ups or ways to go?
There are many security standards you can "certify" your datacenter with, such as NIST or ISO. You can read more about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_security_standards In addition there are some SSL and Antivirus vendors who provide "security badges" that can be embedded to your website and prove that your DNS domain and SSL certificate are valid. Having said that, If you are serious about security and want to leverage that as a competitive advantage you would probably have to implement deep security measures. You could then publish these measures in a whitepaper that can be shared with your clients. You can refer to what Amazon have published regarding their AWS product: https://media.amazonwebservices.com/pdf/AWS_Security_Whitepaper.pdf GuyGB

Which level of DoS protection is best to start off with for a startup building a social network from the ground up?
Denial of Service protection is a key component of your perimeter defense along with your firewall, intrusion detection/prevention and continuous monitoring. There are several managed service providers that you can choose from. The first vendor you should contact is your Internet Service Provider (ISP), they may have DoS services available as a component of your contract or they will have DoS providers they partner with. Once you have identified the services your provider offers or the DoS protection partners they have you can evaluate which is best for you. If you have more questions on this or other security, data protection or regulatory requirements, PCI may be important for you, feel free to let me know. Best of luck in your venture! -StevenSP

What are the legalities around publishing information without approval/consent on my website?
When you publish information about someone without permission, you potentially expose yourself to legal liability even if your portrayal is factually accurate. Most states have laws limiting your ability to publish private facts about someone and recognizing an individual's right to stop you from using his or her name, likeness, and other personal attributes for certain exploitative purposes, such as for advertising goods or services. You can read more here: https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/publishing-personal-and-private-information Besides if you do have any questions give me a call: https://clarity.fm/joy-brotonathJB

I have the ability to build Identity Access Mgmt. Where can I hire someone to backup my projects?
Can you give more detail about what you mean by backup your projects? This question is super vague... I can tell you about backup software, and backup systems if you are just looking to backup your work so you don't lose it in a disaster. I just am not sure that is what you mean seeing as you seem to want to share income with whomever helps you on this.CA

What would cause messages from my new email address to go to some recipients junk folder? It's a new domain name. Anything I can do on my end?
I have a tremendous amount of experience sending emails from new domains - perhaps 2,000,000 emails per year - and the long and short of it is this: email deliverability is tremendously complex. Why? For one thing, because of the constant battle between spammers, ISPs, ESPs and other players, among other things. Also, because email still uses some very old and outdated protocols that make this all more difficult. If your business is going to rely heavily on email, I would encourage to educate yourself now so that you won't be stymied as you grow. Many of the things I learned were through trial and error - which can be excruciatingly frustrating. Just a few of the things you should immediately begin working on: proper SPF, SenderID, DKIM compliance along with solid DNS set up. Additionally, if you will use email heavily, I would start now putting the pieces in place for later white labeling aa nd possible dedicated IP sending. In terms of the actual email content itself, that is another subject you will want to investigate. I'm not saying these things to discourage you - but rather to help you avoid the mistakes we made in the past. If you need a hand getting a little grip on this I probably can steer you in the right direction pretty quickly. Wish you the best in your endeavor! AdamAB
