We help increase server security by completely cloaking your origin server’s real IP address. As a result, attackers are unable to identify your origin’s IP address to directly attack your origin server. In addition, we provide you with the IP addresses of our global Points of Presence (PoPs) that you can add to your whitelist to block unnecessary requests, further increasing your security posture.
By leveraging a robust network of resources and long-term partnerships with local ISP providers in regions boasting large numbers of active digital users such as East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, CDNetworks offers unparalleled advantages for achieving global reach. Additionally, Flood Shield 2.0 platform utilizes a diverse array of tools and technologies, including dedicated lines, intelligent IP scheduling, link encryption, and hijacking monitoring, to provide tailored network solutions for enterprises entering different regional markets. This approach ensures that users across various locations can access online business platforms effortlessly and deliver genuine benefits to their enterprise customers.
Flexible pricing models provide cost-effective models to meet differing usage models that organizations may have for their risk profiles. This approach allows you to pay in the most effective way that suits your business needs while optimizing cash flow through an OpEx approach. There are unlimited mitigation and elastic mitigation plans that you can choose based on your budget.
With over 20 global DDoS scrubbing centers and 15Tbps of total capacity, Flood Shield is designed to protect websites and network infrastructures against even the most sophisticated and large-scale volumetric attacks.

Flood Shield 2.0 is deployed on CDNetworks’ distributed PoPs. It is a cloud-based “always-on” mitigation service with virtually unlimited capacity. Best of all, it provides transparent scaling automation without requiring sophisticated deployments and changes to customer networks.
Flood Shield 2.0 is provided as a simple DNS change, typically to protect websites, TCP/UDP applications, and ports. With customer traffic routed through CDNetworks’ PoPs, attacks hit the CDNetworks infrastructure rather than customer servers and networks. CDNetworks’ PoPs detect and deflect both application-layer attacks (L7) and all known types of network-layer attacks (L3/L4).
