FAQs

Lumen DDoS Mitigation Service is a security solution designed to protect businesses from volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. It detects, analyzes, and mitigates malicious traffic to help ensure network availability and performance.

Lumen uses global threat intelligence, automated filtering, and global scrubbing centers to identify and block harmful traffic in real time, allowing legitimate users to access your network without disruption.

Lumen DDoS Mitigation Service is known for its ability to detect and mitigate volumetric DDoS attacks (high traffic floods).

Yes, Lumen offers flexible solutions using both cloud mitigation (for volumetric attacks) as well as on-premise solutions (for non-volumetric attacks).

There are many performance benefits when the scrubbing architecture is on the same network as the internet service being provided. Benefits include single host diversion and mitigation when protecting Lumen provided internet services, ability to return clean internet traffic using Lumen internet services(better performance than GRE tunnels due to routing and MTU concerns), improved network uptime, reduced security risks, real-time threat monitoring, expert support, and scalable mitigation capabilities tailored to business needs.
