Get the power of DDoS mitigation at scale

We use Black Lotus Labs global threat intelligence as countermeasures to block DDoS bots on the network as traffic hits a scrubbing centre. It is called Rapid Threat Defence—and with 15 global scrubbing centres leveraging 85+ Tbps of FlowSpec-based defence capacity integrated into one of the largest global internet backbones, we own DDoS mitigation at scale.

Benefits

Defence in depth

Our extensive and deeply peered global network acts as a first line of defence with DDoS countermeasures integrated directly into the network to stop attacks faster.

Next generation scrubbing technology

Lumen next-generation intelligent routing technology sends excess traffic to super or regional centres to help reduce collateral damage during attacks.

Proven threat and attack traffic visibility

Black Lotus Labs high-fidelity threat intelligence drives botnet takedowns and powers Rapid Threat Defence automated detection and response—delivering mitigation beyond just scrubbing and minimising time to mitigate.
