We understand that security and performance for your online services are non-negotiables. That’s why we’re introducing Super Transit, a cutting-edge DDoS protection and acceleration feature designed to safeguard your infrastructure while delivering lightning-fast connectivity. Read on to discover the benefits of Super Transit, who can benefit from the feature, and how it works.
DDoS mitigation meets exceptional network performance
Super Transit intelligently routes your traffic via Gcore’s 180 point-of-presence global network, proactively detecting, mitigating, and filtering DDoS attacks. When an attack occurs, your customers don’t notice any difference: Their connection remains stable and secure. Plus, they get an enhanced end-user experience, as the delay between the end user and the server is significantly reduced, cutting down latency.
“Super Transit allows for fast, worldwide access to our DDoS protection services,” explains Andrey Slastenov, Head of Security at Gcore. “This is particularly important for real-time services such as online gaming and video streaming, where delay can significantly impact user experience.”
Who needs Super Transit?
Super Transit is designed for enterprises that require both high-performance connectivity and strong DDoS protection. Here’s how it helps different roles in your organization:
- CISOs and security teams: Reduce risks and help ensure compliance by integrating seamless DDoS protection into your network.
- CTOs and IT leaders: Optimize traffic performance and maintain uninterrupted business operations.
- Network engineers and security architects: Simplify security management with API, automated attack mitigation, and secure GRE tunneling.
How Super Transit works
Super Transit optimizes performance and security by performing four steps.
- Traffic diversion: Incoming traffic is automatically routed through Gcore’s global anycast network, where it undergoes real-time analysis. Malicious traffic is blocked before it can reach your infrastructure.
- Threat detection and mitigation: Using advanced filtering, Super Transit identifies and neutralizes DDoS attacks.
- Performance optimization: Legitimate requests are routed through the optimal path within Gcore’s high-performance backbone, minimizing latency and maximizing speed.
- Secure tunneling to your network: Traffic is securely forwarded to your origin via stable tunneling protocols, providing a smooth, uninterrupted, and secure connection.
