Edge Protection (EP)

A robust set of rules designed to counter flood attacks, including IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, SSL/TLS, and SIP floods. These attacks overwhelm systems by flooding them with excessive requests, depleting resources and blocking legitimate traffic. Anti-flooding ensures systems remain responsive and operational.

Powered by a dynamic IP reputation database, NTIF policies block threats based on the historical behavior and risk profiles of malicious IP addresses. This intelligence-driven approach proactively prevents attacks before they can disrupt operations or compromise security.

A highly customizable tool that defines mitigation policies tailored to customer network traffic patterns and security needs. Flex Filter goes beyond standard anti-flood measures by offering enhanced metrics and comprehensive data visualization.

This technique sets traffic thresholds post-mitigation, ensuring controlled data flow before sending it to other systems or networks. Acting as a safeguard, it prevents network congestion and minimizes disruptions across shared network resources.

SmartFilter is a cutting-edge mitigation tool within NetShield, powered by Nexusguard’s Smart Detection mode. It automatically generates and adapts mitigation rules in real-time, dynamically responding to evolving attack strategies to ensure optimal protection.

At its core, SmartFilter employs a smart feedback mechanism, which continuously monitors traffic against a clean traffic level baseline, applying mitigation actions when deviations occur. During attacks, it self-adjusts — dropping malicious traffic or allowing legitimate traffic to flow — ensuring optimal performance and robust security at all times.

Continuously monitors traffic, offering advanced warnings and triggering responses if thresholds are exceeded within a set timeframe.

Focuses on bursty traffic and hit-and-run attacks, enabling quick threat detection through active traffic monitoring.

Uses Nexusguard’s AI-driven Deep Learning system for dynamic traffic profiles, ensuring precise detection and minimizing false positives.

Leveraging advanced deep learning, Smart Baselining continuously analyzes network traffic to establish accurate baseline thresholds. This intelligent approach minimizes false alarms, enhances the speed of anomaly detection, and enables rapid threat mitigation.

Nexusguard’s Edge Protection module leverages a Cloud Diversion App to automatically redirect customer traffic — within minutes — when it exceeds predefined bandwidth thresholds. This fully automated solution eliminates the need for on-premise hardware or manual intervention, delivering seamless, uninterrupted protection against attacks.

Nexusguard’s Administration Portal is a centralized command hub for real-time security management and network performance optimization. Designed for ease and precision, its integrated dashboard provides instant visibility into traffic patterns — including raw and clean bandwidth, cached requests, and active threats — allowing teams to swiftly configure mitigation settings aligned with their service plans.

Beyond real-time monitoring, the portal delivers deep insights into ongoing and historical DDoS attacks, revealing attack sources, geolocation data, and connection anomalies. For compliance and analysis, customers can access granular event logs, export raw data, and generate automated monthly reports — ensuring every security decision is backed by actionable intelligence.
