Effective, scalable protection against DDoS.

Why Continent 8?

• Automatic inline DDoS protection - seamless DDoS defence

  No need for diversion or GRE tunnels. As an established ISP, Continent 8 has developed its bespoke protection platform. We automatically filter and cleanse internet traffic before it reaches our customer's internet ports, reducing mitigation time and maintaining consistently low latency levels, even under attack.

• Multilayered defence strategy

  As an ISP, we offer various layers of protection against DDoS attacks; expansive upstream filtering, dynamic network edge filtering, Continent 8 Shield (our proprietary in-house tools), volumetric DDoS cleansing (Thresholds and ratios), application traffic connection/ rate limiting via Continent 8 WAAP, and Security Information Event Management and Managed Detection and Response through Continent 8 Secure SIEM and MDR. This approach ensures superior mitigation against large-scale and zero-day attacks.

• Global scalability

  With our multi-terabit, globally extended network, we can handle large-scale attacks while maintaining service continuity. Our reach and capacity ensure that we can protect our customers no matter the size or source of the attack.

• Proprietary SYN-ACK mitigation

  Our unique technique, the C8 Shield, offers efficient protection against challenging SYN-ACK attacks. Developed in-house, this proprietary method surpasses other providers' capabilities, filtering this specific attack type effectively.

• Tailored protection profiles

  We collaborate with our customers to understand their clean traffic profiles, allowing us to fine-tune mitigation rules specific to each one. This personalized approach reduces false positives during mitigation, ensuring optimal automatic mitigation performance.

• Real-time insights

  Through our self-service portal, customers can access real-time and historical views of attacks. This visibility allows customers to develop their whitelists and assign mitigation profiles to individual IP addresses, providing a tailored defence mechanism.
