Hybrid DDoS Protection — On-Prem Speed, Cloud Scale
Combine on-premise WanGuard mitigation with upstream cloud scrubbing for layered, hybrid DDoS protection.
Hybrid DDoS protection pairs fast on-premise mitigation with upstream capacity for the largest volumetric floods. WanGuard handles detection and surgical filtering locally, and escalates to RTBH or your upstream when uplinks approach saturation.
How the hybrid model works
- WanGuard detects and filters attacks locally in seconds
- RTBH engages automatically if uplinks near saturation
- Upstream/cloud scrubbing absorbs terabit-scale floods when needed
Frequently asked questions
On-premise vs cloud DDoS protection — which is better?
Each has trade-offs: on-premise is faster and cheaper for most attacks; cloud absorbs the very largest. Hybrid gives you both.
Does hybrid protection add latency?
No — normal traffic stays local; cloud is only used during exceptional volumetric events.
