DDoS protection with NBIP
NBIP NaWas DDoS scrubbing center
Theory7 uses the professional NBIP NaWas DDoS scrubbing center. This advanced system detects and filters attacks in real time, before they even reach your servers.
During a DDoS attack, your traffic is automatically rerouted through the scrubbing center, where the malicious traffic is filtered out. Legitimate visitors notice nothing of this and can simply continue to use your services.
Real-time detection
DDoS attacks are detected within seconds by advanced pattern recognition and anomaly detection. The system continuously analyzes all incoming traffic and recognizes deviating patterns.
As soon as an attack is detected, the system automatically switches to protection mode.
Automatic mitigation
During a DDoS attack, your traffic is automatically routed through the NBIP scrubbing center, without any human intervention being required. This happens fully automated and within seconds.
The malicious traffic is filtered out and only legitimate traffic reaches your servers.
No impact on performance
Legitimate traffic experiences no delay or performance problems, even during large DDoS attacks. Your services remain fast and easily accessible for real visitors.
The scrubbing center is so efficient that your customers notice nothing of an ongoing attack.
