Strategic partnerships with leading DDoS solution providers to keep you safe

Our strategic partnership with globally leading solution provider Aakami allows us to provide organizations with the best DDoS solution.

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are continuously shifting. The main aim of these attacks is to cause a service breakdown and these days, attacks and attackers are getting more complex. Motivations for attacks are increasingly political or financial—with major consequences for the intended victims.

The sheer complexity and volume for these attacks make it difficult for conventional network firewalls to do their jobs. These firewalls are useless at defending multi-layer attacks as they do not have the understanding of the incoming traffic.

Previously, DDoS attacks concentrated on layers 3-4, and network firewalls had the ability to provide an elementary line of defense. Attackers in response to that are moving up the stack and now aim at using SSL and application-layer attacks to overwhelm resources.

Hence, to combat these large scale attacks, cloud-based scrubbing services have been developed.

RapidCompute DDoS Protection

RapidCompute strategic partnership with globally leading DDoS solution provider allows us toprovide organizations with a simple and effective way to protect all web- and IP-based applications in their data center from the threat of DDoS attacks. Offered as a flexible and comprehensive service, RapidComputeRouted stops DDoS attacks in the cloud, well before they reach the data center. It provides comprehensive protection against the broadest range of DDoS attack types and defends against today’s high-bandwidth, sustained web attacks, as well as the increasing threat of potentially crippling DDoS attacks that target specific applications and services.

How It Works

RapidCompute leverages the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to route all of an organization’s network traffic through our partners’ globally distributed scrubbing centers. Within each scrubbing center, the SOC staff then inspects the network traffic for potential DDoS attack vectors, drops detected attack traffic and forwards only clean traffic to the application origin. Built on a global network spread over Terabytes of dedicated capacity today, RapidCompute protects many of the world’s largest Internet-facing organizations from the largest known and most sophisticated DDoS attacks.

Key Capabilities

Broad DDoS Attack Protection

RapidCompute provides organizations with dynamic protection against a broad range of potential DDoS attack types, regardless of complexity, and even as they change over the course of an attack. This includes both network-layer DDoS attacks, such as UDP and SYN floods, as well as application-layer DDoS attacks, such as HTTP GET and POST floods.

Protection For Hundreds Of Applications

By routing network traffic through RapidCompute, organizations can protect entire IP subnets, including all web- and IP-based applications within those subnets, any supporting network and data center infrastructure and the network bandwidth into their data center

Dedicated Global Network

Akamai’s network includes sixglobally distributed scrubbing centers with more than 2Tbps of dedicated network bandwidth today. Scrubbing centers are located in Ashburn, VA (USA), San Jose, CA(USA), Frankfurt (Germany), Hong Kong (China), Tokyo (Japan), and London (UK).
