With F5 Networks Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender comprehensive DDoS threat coverage in a simple, dedicated appliance with native, cloud-based scrubbing services. More sophisticated attacks demand more sophisticated protection. Today’s DDoS attacks are rapidly becoming more severe, more sophisticated, and more complex. Now, an attack will likely blend different attack vectors that are run simultaneously, designed to find the weakest link in your infrastructure — whether it’s your network devices, your applications, or your network bandwidth — and then exploit it. Different types of attacks are best handled different ways. And, because you can’t be sure what type of attack will be leveled at your business, you have to protect against all of them or leave your apps and data vulnerable. Many DDoS attacks aim to render a service unavailable by overwhelming it using multiple sources. All connections look OK. It’s only getting easier to launch an attack.
It’s essential to defend against multiple attack types that target the weakest link, whether that’s your network, WAN bandwidth, or applications. Multiple vulnerability vectors have spawned multiple point solutions. Network layer (or flood) attacks are best handled at the edge of the network, protecting the assets that are behind the firewall. But the usual defense of black holing or rate limiting can cripple the connections of legitimate users. Application layer attacks, which are more sophisticated and targeted, require SSL decryption in front of app servers inside the network. WAN bandwidth saturation shuts down your connection to the Internet. So any on-premises defense is useless against it. Simply put, traditional point DDoS solutions are only partially effective because they focus solely on one type of attack. Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender is the only multi-layered defense that protects against blended network attacks.
F5 Networks Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender Protection
Multiple vulnerability vectors have spawned multiple point solutions. Network layer (or flood) attacks are best handled at the edge of the network, protecting the assets that are behind the firewall. Application layer attacks, which are more sophisticated and targeted, require SSL decryption in front of app servers inside the network. Typical solutions are blind to SSL traffic and dependent on their placement in the network. WAN bandwidth saturation shuts down your connection to the Internet. So any on-premises defense is useless against it. In contrast with competing products, Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender provides comprehensive protection for both the data center and the application. Out-of-band monitoring was fine when DDoS attacks weren’t so sophisticated, but now it’s too little, too late, especially when trying to protect against Layer-7 attacks. Attacks require processing, other solutions don’t have the performance to simultaneously decrypt SSL, process traffic, and mitigate attacks in-line.

In contrast with competing products, Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender provides comprehensive protection for both the data center and the application. Here are a few reasons why it’s more effective than the competition. Out-of-band monitoring was fine when DDoS attacks weren’t so sophisticated, but now it’s too little, too late, especially when trying to protect against Layer-7 attacks. Sophisticated attacks require a lot of processing. Other solutions don’t have the performance to simultaneously decrypt SSL, process traffic, and mitigate attacks in-line. Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender delivers a multi-layered defense with a dual-mode appliance that supports both out-of-band and inline mitigation. Identifies good vs. bad traffic using behavioral attack detection with the ability to sustain DDoS under high connect rates and volume. Enables a faster response to volumetric and blended attacks with a dedicated solution that stops attacks on your data center immediately and integrates with Silverline cloud services for sub-second off-loading.
A New Depth Of Defense
F5 Networks DDoS Hybrid Defender is the only multi-layered defense that protects against blended network attacks and sophisticated application attacks, while enabling full SSL decryption, anti-bot capabilities, and advanced detection methods — all in one appliance. It also delivers the highest performance with line rate capabilities and without impacting legitimate traffic. Detect and protect against simultaneous attacks from Layer-3 through Layer-7. Integrated on-premises device with Silverline cloud-scrubbing service, protecting against WAN bandwidth saturation attacks. Protection against even the largest DDoS attacks at line rate. Sub-second attack detection, threshold based-packets per second, transactions per second, requests per second — and behavioral and signatures-based attack detection. Baseline the traffic to automatically size the configuration. SHUN, RTBH, BGP steer, and Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender cloud-based services. Deployment options include inline, out-of-band, TAP, and bump-in-wire.
