Black Lotus

Black Lotus’ proxy based Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services take the frustration out of DDoS attack mitigation with our comprehensive cloud-based DDoS detection and protection solution. Our proxy DDoS services filter every packet of inbound traffic “in the cloud”, before it reaches your network. Using our proxy service, harmful traffic and botnet related activities are mitigated and attack propagation is blocked. Through our proxy based DDoS protection services we can protect your website and servers hosted anywhere, assuring complete protection against today’s large and complex DDoS attacks.

Solutions starting at $999.00 per month can be purchased today, online, and without a contract

How does it work?

Black Lotus DDoS protection proxies intercept potentially malicious traffic from all sources and use special algorithms to identify and separate DDoS attackers from legitimate traffic. Through a simple DNS change, all customer traffic is routed to our traffic filtering array where it is cleansed. Once traffic is filtered of DDoS attacks, the clean traffic is forward to your web server. Our proxy based DDoS protection solution can quickly restore a website that is under attack and prevent existing websites from coming under attack. This allows your website to receive maximum DDoS protection against all attacks without the need for server migration. 

As a cloud-based service, our robust, state-of-the-art proxy DDoS protection solution can be deployed quickly and easily. Black Lotus engineers can implement the solution in a matter of minutes from the time we receive your emergency call. For more information about emergency installations, please consult our Emergency Provisioning Package.

PCI DSS compliant protection for any service, running any protocol

Protection for Websites isn’t just for websites. Now you can effectively proxy any service running on any TCP or UDP protocols. This includes streaming video, online gaming, video games, and any SSL website to name a few. You determine whether SSL certificates are served from the proxy, passed through to your backend server, or served from the proxy with plain text communication to the backend. These options provide you with the flexibility to ensure that your DDoS protection conforms to your company’s technical and compliance requirements.

Accelerate and load balance your services for optimal performance

Black Lotus ensures maximum performance for your critical content using cutting edge proxy technology that effectively mitigates DDoS attacks, blocks malicious requests, and caches and compresses serving of content to reduce the load of your backend servers and improve the customer’s experience. Load balancing provides the added benefit of distributing traffic amongst an array of your backend servers which can be centrally located or distributed globally, also aiding in performance management. According to a Gartner study in 2010, pages are abandoned when websites load too slowly. In the case of DDoS attacks, websites either fail to load at all or run extremely slow when under attack.

DDoS protection and application acceleration over the Black Lotus network improve the customer’s overall experience, prevent page abandonment, and ensure business continuity under the most challenging of known and zero-day DDoS threats.

Gain real time intelligence through the Attack Monitoring Platform

Advanced users, engineers, and executives will appreciate the ability to gain intelligence through live reporting on the Attack Monitoring Platform which is available on the Mitigation Critical level of service. This simple, easy to read reporting provides graphs generated from aggregate flow data originating on Black Lotus edge routers. See attacks as they occur with a delay of less than 5 minutes. View data on a per IP or per IP group basis and see both bits and packets per second. On all services, you can request historical attack data in CSV format.

Cost effective solutions for single and bulk resources

Black Lotus offers both single and bulk proxy packages, allowing you to choose between protection for a single web site or for entire groups of sites. This option allows you to assume a defensive posture for each of your sites, protecting them in case of possible attacks, without needing to spend substantially on a new protection package for each.

Protection channels can be shared or dedicated. With a shared package, each domain is hosted on a single IP and collectively the entire package shares a 2000 Mbps and 500,000 packet per second protection channel. Protection is scalable to any specification by ordering Enterprise protection upgrade at time of purchase or by requesting a Mitigation Critical quote. With dedicated packages each website will have its own protection channel, allowing for maximum resiliency when multiple sites are under attack.

Custom proposals for special requirements

Does your company have a need that is not addressed by the packages offered? Black Lotus is happy to design infrastructure solutions around your unique requirements. Contact us today for a special proposal allowing for a custom number of domains, network resources, or larger protection channels, up to multi-10G.
