Cloaked Origin IP

We help increase server security by completely cloaking your origin server’s real IP address. As a result, attackers are unable to identify your origin’s IP address to directly attack your origin server. In addition, we provide you with the IP addresses of our global Points of Presence (PoPs) that you can add to your whitelist to block unnecessary requests, further increasing your security posture.

Big Data Analysis & Machine Learning

With an average of over 3 billion real attack samples collected daily by its threat intelligence library, CDNetworks’ Flood Shield 2.0 is backed by an advanced AI Center Engine, where big data and machine learning capabilities work in concert to enable intelligence processing and analysis mechanisms tailored to scenario-based protection. This setup allows enterprises to better detect network attack trends in real-time and automatically activate defenses in advance, helping them achieve adaptive protection capabilities that strengthen continuously over time.

How our DDoS Protection Services Work

Flood Shield 2.0 is deployed on CDNetworks’ distributed PoPs. It is a cloud-based “always-on” mitigation service with virtually unlimited capacity. Best of all, it provides transparent scaling automation without requiring sophisticated deployments and changes to customer networks.

Flood-Shield-20-Architectural-Diagram.png

Flood Shield 2.0 is provided as a simple DNS change, typically to protect websites, TCP/UDP applications, and ports. With customer traffic routed through CDNetworks’ PoPs, attacks hit the CDNetworks infrastructure rather than customer servers and networks. CDNetworks’ PoPs detect and deflect both application-layer attacks (L7) and all known types of network-layer attacks (L3/L4).
