Due to the growing sophistication of distributed denial of service attacks it is becoming frequently common for scrubbing center mitigation to be paired with an on-site mitigation device. This is the DDoS mitigation solution that we have implemented at our Sydney location. This hybrid solution provides a more fine-tuned barrier from DDoS attacks as off-site scrubbing centres are better suited for large scale protection whereas onsite in-line mitigation devices can detect and eliminate the smallest of attacks at our network edge.



Our domestic and international DDoS protection is provided by Global Secure Layer (GSL) their Anti-DDoS mitigation cluster runs in-line on the network. In-line solutions provide “always-on” protection where each packet entering the network will be inspected prior to reaching a client’s service. These in-line solutions are needed for real-time protection as malicious traffic can be detected and mitigated without disrupting the flow of traffic to the network. Utilising an on-site solution also allows for us to make customer-specific adjustments where needed since generic rules may not apply to all applications. This type of solution is perfect for client needing a custom DDoS mitigation solution.
