Cybersecurity Solutions
Edge DDoS Defense & Posture Intelligence
Integrated sub-second mitigation to defend availability and uptime SLAs against the 2026 threat landscape.
Real-time, always-on protection that identifies and drops malicious packets at line rate without adding measurable latency.
Purpose-built integration with Arista and Cisco fabrics for sub-second DDoS mitigation.
Real-Time Protection
Always-on defense against pulse attacks and reconnaissance patterns
Most organizations discover their DDoS vulnerabilities only when their uptime budget is already exhausted. The 2026 threat landscape has shifted toward surgical pulse attacks lasting as little as six seconds—attacks that disrupt service and vanish before traditional cloud-scrubbing can engage.
The Manual Divert Gap
Legacy DDoS models require traffic rerouting to remote scrubbing centers—a process that takes several minutes while attackers exploit the detection-and-diversion window.
Pulse attacks last only 6 seconds, faster than cloud scrubbing can respond
Manual diversion takes minutes, causing application state loss and session drops
Sub-1G reconnaissance runs remain invisible to traditional monitoring
Uptime SLAs are violated before mitigation can engage

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Edge DDoS Defense and Posture Intelligence.
Is this a fully managed SOC service?
No, this is an integrated technology solution. We resell the Corero platform, integrate it into your environment, and provide engineering depth to tune it for your specific needs. While it can be supported by our Aegis PM foundation for visibility, your team maintains operational ownership of mitigation policies.
Why is always-on protection better than on-demand scrubbing?
On-demand scrubbing requires a detection-and-diversion loop that takes minutes to engage. In today's threat landscape where pulse attacks last only seconds, that delay is operationally unacceptable. Always-on protection ensures the first malicious packet is identified and dropped at the edge without any diversion delay.
How does this integrate with our existing Arista or Cisco fabric?
Corero SmartWall TDS is purpose-built for high-performance integration with Arista and Cisco platforms. We architect the solution to sit at your internet edge or within your data center spine, ensuring full visibility into north-south traffic without becoming a bottleneck.
What makes this different from cloud-based DDoS scrubbing services?
Cloud scrubbing requires traffic to be diverted to remote scrubbing centers when an attack is detected, creating a minutes-long vulnerability window. Our edge-based approach provides always-on, sub-second mitigation that drops malicious packets at line rate without any diversion delay or latency impact.
Can this detect reconnaissance attacks below 1 Gbps?
Yes, the Corero SmartWall TDS provides visibility into sub-1G anomalies and scouting runs that traditional monitoring systems miss. This posture intelligence allows you to identify and harden against reconnaissance patterns before they escalate into large-scale multi-vector attacks.
What kind of forensic data do we get from attacks?
The system provides comprehensive attack telemetry including packets per second (pps), bits per second (bps), attack duration, vector analysis, and source intelligence. This data integrates with our Aegis PM foundation to correlate technical network signals with business service health in real-time.
