Product Introduction
- Overview: Wafler is an advanced DDoS mitigation service leveraging XDP (Express Data Path) technology and machine learning algorithms to protect network infrastructure against sophisticated cyber attacks.
- Value: Ensures continuous service availability by blocking malicious traffic in under 1 second while maintaining EU-GDPR compliance for data-sensitive businesses.
Main Features
- XDP Layer 3/4 Firewall: Processes packets at kernel-level for near-zero latency mitigation, outperforming traditional solutions by eliminating system-call overhead.
- ML-Powered Layer 7 Protection: Uses real-time behavioral analysis to detect and block application-layer attacks (HTTP/HTTPS floods, SQLi) and AI-powered web scraping bots.
- Customizable Rules Engine: Create granular firewall policies with conditional logic for IP reputation, geographic blocking, and protocol-specific thresholds.
Problems Solved
- Challenge: Prevents revenue loss and brand damage from service downtime caused by volumetric, protocol, and application-layer DDoS attacks.
- Audience: Critical for SaaS platforms, e-commerce sites, gaming services, and financial institutions requiring 24/7 uptime.
- Scenario: Automatically mitigates 2Tbps+ SYN floods while load-balancing legitimate traffic across origin servers during peak attacks.
Unique Advantages
- Vs Competitors: 60% faster mitigation than cloud-based alternatives through kernel-level XDP processing, with transparent EU data residency (unlike US-centric providers).
- Innovation: Hybrid approach combining programmable hardware acceleration at PoPs (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Warsaw) with adaptive ML models trained on live attack patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How does Wafler ensure GDPR compliance? All traffic processing and attack analytics occur exclusively within EU-based Points of Presence (PoPs), with no data transfer to third countries.
- Can Wafler stop sophisticated Layer 7 attacks? Yes, our machine learning engine analyzes HTTP/S traffic patterns in real-time to distinguish legitimate users from botnets and application-layer attack tools.
- What makes Wafler's mitigation faster than competitors? By leveraging Linux kernel XDP technology, we bypass traditional networking stacks to process packets at driver level, reducing latency to <1ms.
