Always-On DDoS Mitigation and WAF Delivered Through a Global CDN

AntiDos is a Canadian provider of managed distributed denial of service protection, operating from North York, Ontario. It sells to anyone running an internet-facing service that can be knocked offline by volumetric or application-layer attack traffic, from single websites and hosting customers through to enterprise infrastructure. The offer is packaged as a subscription service rather than an appliance, which puts it in reach of organizations without a network security team of their own and without hardware in a data center to defend.

Traffic is routed through a content delivery network with more than 150 points of presence, so attack volume is absorbed and filtered close to its source instead of arriving at the origin server. Detection and mitigation run automatically across network layers 3 and 4 and at the application layer, including HTTP flood identification. A web application firewall inspects request content, and the service extends to DNS protection, email protection, and proxy protection. The company states that mitigation stays transparent to legitimate users during an attack.

AntiDos advertises unlimited DDoS protection with a 99.99 percent uptime commitment and mitigation capacity described as above 10 Tbps, positioning capacity and price as its main arguments in a market that includes much larger CDN and scrubbing providers. Onboarding follows the standard model for network-layer protection: point DNS or route traffic through the provider's edge and let filtering happen upstream. The service is bought directly through the website, with pricing published and promotional discounts run periodically.
