Enterprise-Grade Mitigation

Dataforest is a high-capacity scrubbing network architected to absorb massive volumetric attacks while maintaining the low-latency performance required by modern web applications and game engines. As our primary protection layer for a vast array of services, Dataforest uses a hybrid detection approach that combines real-time signature matching with sophisticated behavioral analysis. This technical framework ensures that even the largest multi-terabit floods are neutralized at the network edge, long before they can impact your virtual hardware.

Technical Mitigation Capacity

The Dataforest backbone is designed for extreme resilience and high-throughput data processing.
  • Global Volumetric Capacity: Features a distributed scrubbing capacity exceeding 12 Tbps, allowing the network to absorb the world’s largest recorded volumetric events.
  • Protocol Coverage: Native, hardware-accelerated protection against Layer 3 and Layer 4 vectors, including UDP reflections (DNS, NTP), TCP SYN floods, and ICMP floods.
  • Deep Packet Inspection: Analyzes individual packet payloads to identify and drop malformed data that attempts to exploit specific application-layer vulnerabilities.

​
Advanced Detection Logic

Dataforest employs two complementary methodologies to identify and mitigate malicious traffic in real-time.
uses a massive, constantly updated database of known attack fingerprints and botnet communication patterns. This allows for the instantaneous blocking of recognized threats with zero impact on legitimate users.

​
Management & Control Features

Administrators can lock down their network perimeter based on traffic origin. You can block entire countries or specific Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) to prevent traffic from known high-risk regions or specialized VPN/Proxy providers.
Define how the firewall handles traffic that does not match an explicit filter.
  • Filter Mode: (Standard) Traffic is passed through the mitigation engines for validation.
  • Drop Mode: (Whitelist) Blocks all traffic that hasn’t been explicitly authorized, creating a “zero-trust” environment for proprietary services.

​
Optimizing Regional Communities

If your community is localized to a specific region (e.g., North America), using Country Blocking to restrict traffic from other continents is one of the most effective ways to eliminate automated bot scans and reduce the overall attack surface of your server.
