Network DDoS Protection (cloud)
Myra Network DDoS Protection (cloud) secures data centers and IT infrastructure against volumetric DDoS attacks at the network and transport layer using cloud-based DDoS scrubbing. It operates in on-demand or always-on modes and automatically filters malicious attack traffic, delivering only clean traffic to servers, with connectivity options including Direct Connect, GRE tunnels, VLAN, and IPsec. The Myra SOC provides 24/7 support and delivers incident reports within 48 hours.
Network DDoS Protection (hybrid)
Myra Network DDoS Protection (hybrid) combines on-premises scrubbing appliances installed in the customer's own data center with high-bandwidth cloud scrubbing for attacks that exceed local uplink limits. The solution protects everything from individual IPs and small subnets to enterprise networks, with fully automated real-time mitigation triggered by predefined thresholds. When attack volume exceeds local capacity, the system automatically escalates to Myra's cloud infrastructure with more than 50 Tbps of mitigation capacity.
Network DDoS Protection (on-prem)
Myra Network DDoS Protection (on-prem) is a hardware appliance-based scrubbing solution deployed directly in the customer's data center to protect customer networks against volumetric DDoS attacks at the network and protocol level. It provides BGP-based protection for IP subnets from /25 for IPv4 and from /49 for IPv6 down to individual IPs, with automated real-time traffic filtering and an optional interactive Web-GUI dashboard. The solution can be expanded to a hybrid model by combining it with Myra's cloud scrubbing.
