The integration of on-premise and cloud protection has become a common practice in the industry. Many on-premise companies opt to acquire or collaborate with cloud providers to create a "hybrid" solution. However, in reality, these solutions are often treated as two separate entities bundled together as one product. Consequently, users experience a fragmented service due to the involvement of distinct teams, varying dashboards and reporting mechanisms, and different escalation processes.
Nexusguard's Edge Protection service revolutionizes this landscape by presenting a truly integrated and cohesive user experience. Our solution bridges the gap between on-premise and cloud protection, providing seamless cohesion and eliminating the disjointedness typically encountered. By leveraging the Nexusguard Cloud and Bastions servers, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) experience an instantaneous boost in their local mitigation capacity, enhancing their ability to counteract threats effectively.
CSPs equipped with Nexusguard Bastions are the primary beneficiaries of the advantages provided by the Nexusguard Edge Protection service. Through this service, CSP partners can significantly elevate the security and performance of their Internet uplink, resulting in a seamless and uninterrupted connectivity experience, bolstering the delivery of reliable and high-quality services to their customers.
Moreover, the Nexusguard Edge Protection service enhances network security by effectively diverting the risk associated with DDoS attacks to the cloud infrastructure. By transferring attack mitigation responsibilities to Nexusguard, CSP partners can prioritize their core business operations, confident in the knowledge that their network's security and availability are fortified against potential threats.
Nexusguard's Edge Protection service offers a holistic and robust defense mechanism, safeguarding IPv4 network addresses against a wide range of volumetric and protocol-based DDoS attacks. These include but are not limited to UDP, ICMP, and SYN floods. With the primary objective of ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and protecting critical online operations, Nexusguard's Edge Protection stands as a formidable defense against malicious threats, empowering CSP partners to maintain a secure and reliable digital presence.
To effectively tackle the challenges posed by substantial volumes of attack traffic that congest the uplink Internet connection of partner CSPs, Nexusguard Edge Protection employs a powerful combination of Nexusguard Cloud, Cloud Diversion and Bastions, ensuring thorough inspection and cleansing of incoming traffic, effectively diverting any harmful elements away from CSP partners’ networks. This strategic approach not only enhances the protection of the partner CSP's infrastructure but also safeguards Nexusguard's Bastion servers from potential attacks that could overwhelm the partner CSP's capacity.
When an attack emerges that poses a threat to saturate the local CSP scrubbing capacity, Nexusguard's Edge Protection assumes the responsibility of safeguarding the partner CSP's uplink. The scrubbing process occurs within the Nexusguard scrubbing cloud, rapidly terminating attacks near their source. Meanwhile, clean traffic is seamlessly routed back to the destination network through a GRE tunnel facilitated by the local Bastions deployment.
From the continuous analysis of traffic patterns to proactive alerting systems that notify CSP partners of potential attacks, and from the seamless redirection of traffic to the scrubbing process and subsequent delivery of clean traffic, Nexusguard's Edge Protection delivers a unified user experience. This is accomplished through a sophisticated and unified dashboard that seamlessly integrates intricate integrations, detection and mitigation tools, and visually presents a multitude of metrics, indicators, and statuses. As a result, a comprehensive and holistic view of the cybersecurity posture is effortlessly generated within a single pane of glass, simplifying the monitoring and management of security measures.
Nexusguard's Edge Protection service is tailored to meet the unique needs of modern CSPs, enabling organizations to focus on strategic initiatives rather than constantly firefighting security incidents. Embrace the benefits of a comprehensive and integrated solution that fortifies networks against threats while enhancing the user experience, establishing new benchmarks for network security in the digital era.
