Stop Attacks before they reach your Servers.
Protect your infrastructure at the network edge. PingDart's globally distributed security nodes actively filter out DDoS attacks, block malicious bots, and intercept OWASP Top 10 exploits automatically.
How PingDart Edge Defense Works
In a traditional security environment, traffic is filtered at the data center firewall. This approach is often "too little, too late." By the time a multi-terabit DDoS attack reaches your server, your network uplink is already saturated, causing legitimate users to experience packet loss and downtime.
PingDart flips this model. We operate a massive, globally distributed network of **Edge Security Nodes**. When an attack begins, it is intercepted at the network perimeter—closest to the source of the threat. Using BGP Anycast and localized scrubbing, we absorb the attack at the edge, ensuring only clean, legitimate traffic ever reaches your origin infrastructure.
Our edge strategy provides three critical benefits: **Zero-latency Filtering**, **Automatic Escalation**, and **Global Threat Intelligence**. When a new exploit is detected for one customer, the ruleset is updated across our entire global network within seconds, protecting every client on the PingDart platform.
Layer 3/4 Volumetric Mitigation
Instantly mitigate SYN floods, UDP amplification, and ICMP floods. Our 15 Tbps network capacity ensures even the largest volumetric attacks are dropped silently without impacting performance.
Layer 7 WAF & AI API Security
Our Managed Rulesets are updated daily to protect against zero-day exploits. We block SQLi, XSS, and complex application-layer attacks with negligible latency impact on your users.
Security Use Cases
Financial & Fintech Services
Protect transaction APIs and customer portals from credential stuffing and data exfiltration. Ensure 100% uptime for critical banking infrastructure with PCI-compliant edge security.
High-Traffic E-commerce
Block malicious scrapers that steal pricing data and inventory levels. Protect checkout pages from 'carding' attacks and automated checkout bots during flash sales.
Competitive Online Gaming
Stop 'Rage DDoS' attacks that target specific player sessions or game servers. Our low-latency filtering ensures competitive integrity is never compromised.
SaaS Infrastructure
Prevent tenant-side vulnerabilities from impacting your entire platform. Our multi-tenant WAF provides isolation and granular security controls for every customer.
Bulletproof Edge Security
Our security perimeter extends directly to the edge, dropping malicious packets closest to the source without adding latency to legitimate traffic.
DDoS Mitigation
Absorbs multi-terabit volumetric attacks instantly. Our global scrubbing centers sinkhole bad traffic before it saturates your uplinks.
Web Firewall (WAF)
Managed rulesets automatically block SQL Injection, XSS, and zero-day vulnerabilities targeting your web applications/APIs.
Bot Management
Machine-learning challenges distinguish between good crawlers (Googlebot) and malicious scrapers attempting credential stuffing.
SSL/TLS Offloading
Handle encryption at the edge. Speed up your origin servers and protect user data with automated, secure certificate management.
API Security
Apply rate limiting, JWT validation, and schema protection to your APIs. Prevent abuse and unauthorized data access at the perimeter.
Real-time Monitoring
Full visibility into your traffic patterns. Detect anomalies instantly with our integrated threat intelligence dashboard.
