Link11, a prominent provider of cybersecurity solutions in Europe, has introduced a next-gen Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation solution. Announced today, this revamped system aims to manage the increasing complexity of contemporary network threats.
Addressing Sophisticated Cyber Threats
The landscape of DDoS attacks has evolved significantly, moving beyond basic volume-based or protocol-specific strategies. Modern attacks often originate from compromised devices within legitimate networks, cleverly mimicking genuine traffic in brief, intense bursts that are challenging to counteract swiftly.
Link11’s cutting-edge DDoS Protection leverages AI-driven, behavior-based detection methods, ensuring comprehensive IPv4 and IPv6 coverage for current infrastructures. This innovative solution reduces dependency on manual monitoring and introduces a transformative approach to identifying and mitigating DDoS threats.
Data Sovereignty and Security
Engineered with a focus on European data sovereignty, Link11’s platform operates on its proprietary cloud infrastructure, where security data is hosted within Europe. This not only facilitates data control but also minimizes legal risks and reliance on non-European cloud services.
Unlike traditional systems that use fixed rules and thresholds, Link11’s solution adopts a dynamic approach, integrating insights from over a million mitigated attacks with deep learning techniques. This enables the platform to offer faster and more precise protection against evolving threats.
Enhanced Mitigation and Transparency
The advanced platform analyzes each attack vector individually, deploying targeted countermeasures rather than a one-size-fits-all response. This strategy decreases false positives and significantly reduces mitigation time, now achieving under three seconds for previously unknown attack vectors.
Built to simplify advanced DDoS protection, the solution provides real-time logs, reason codes, and an intuitive dashboard, offering security teams clear visibility into attack dynamics and mitigation strategies. This transparency is crucial for maintaining service availability and safeguarding revenue during attacks.
As Marc Lamik, CPO of Link11, highlights, “Our guiding principle is that resilience is a business promise, not just a technical metric. This solution is designed to uphold that promise, continuously learning from live traffic to enhance detection logic autonomously.”
Seamless Transition for Existing Users
Current Link11 customers can transition to the new system effortlessly, with no configuration changes required on their part. The migration entails an internal routing adjustment, ensuring uninterrupted protection and preserving all existing baselines and configurations.
The Next-Gen Network DDoS Protection is now accessible to both current and new clients, offering robust security for dual-stack infrastructures.
Link11 remains a top-tier provider of IT security, safeguarding global infrastructures against cyber threats. The company is recognized for its stringent data security and compliance standards, including PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, BSI C5, and ISO 27001.
