KEY FEATURES

AI-Powered Defense That Adapts to Evolving Attack

Large-scale L3/L4 DDoS Protection

Instant, always-on defense powered by 20+ Tbps global scrubbing to stop volumetric attacks (SYN/UDP/ACK floods, amplification) before they hit your network.

Native TCP/UDP Service Protection

Go beyond HTTP/S to protect online gaming, real-time communications, and custom TCP/UDP services through a unified platform.

Built-in L7 Application and API Security

Full WAAP (WAF, Bot, API, L7 DDoS) protection in one platform that blocks sophisticated attacks across all layers; no add-ons or extra tools needed.

Integrated CDN Acceleration

Deliver fast, reliable experiences while threats are blocked at the edge. Security, smart routing, load balancing, and caching run on the same global infrastructure, with no separate deployment required.

AI-powered, Adaptive Protection

An AI engine powers Flood Shield 2.0, continuously baselining traffic and updating protection policies in real time. Defenses adjust as attack patterns change, reducing manual tuning and keeping protection current.

Unified Management and Integration

Manage L3/L4 and L7 policies, real-time dashboards, attack logs, and alerts from a single console. Full API access connects Flood Shield 2.0 with your existing SIEM, SecOps, and DevOps workflows.

HOW IT WORKS

How CDNetworks Flood Shield 2.0 Works

When traffic reaches Flood Shield 2.0, it is routed to the nearest point of presence (PoP) and inspected before reaching your infrastructure. The Edge Engine filters traffic across the network and application layers, blocking volumetric attacks, malicious requests, bot traffic, and API abuse in real time. In parallel, the AI Engine continuously analyzes traffic behavior and adapts protection policies as threats evolve, reducing the need for manual rule updates. Clean traffic is then accelerated to your origin over the same global edge infrastructure. Your team gains unified visibility into Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 activity through a single console, with full API access for SIEM and workflow integrations.
