Flexible Pricing

Flexible Pricing

We provide flexible pricing models that are designed in accordance with your risk profile, allowing you to pay in the most effective way that suits your business’s needs. There are unlimited mitigation and elastic mitigation plans that you can choose based on your budget.

Cloaked Origin IP

We help increase your server security by completely hiding your origin server’s real IP address. As a result, the attackers are unable to identify your origin IP to directly attack your origin server. In addition, we also provide you with our global PoPs’ IP to add to the whitelist to block any unnecessary requests, further increasing the security level.

How our DDoS Protection Services Work 

Flood Shield DDoS deflection technology is deployed on CDNetworks’ distributed Points-of-Presence (PoPs). It is a cloud-based “always-on” mitigation service with virtually unlimited capacity. It does not require sophisticated deployments and changes to customers’ networks and provides transparent scaling automation.

Flood Shield is provided either via a simple DNS change, typically to protect websites, HTTP/S traffic and entire network infrastructures, including multiple domains, servers, and protocols. With the customer traffic routed through CDNetworks’ PoPs, DDoS attacks hit the CDNetworks infrastructure rather than the customers’ servers and networks. CDNetworks’ PoPs detect and deflect both application-layer attacks (L7) and all known types of network-layer attacks (L3/L4).
