G-Protect

2019: Start of the solution G-Protect

On April 25, 2019 the Skolkovo Foundation reported that its resident of G-Core Labs started protection against DDoS attacks for web applications — G-Protect. Along with services of CDN, a hosting and video streaming, protection against DDoS attacks will become one more necessary service for any online business.

DDoS attacks — one of the most widespread types of cyberthreats: a large number of simultaneous requests to servers results in unavailability of the websites and web applications. Every year DDoS attacks become more and they become more difficult.

The technology combining the analysis of statistical, signature, technical and behavioural factors allows to neutralize the low-frequency attacks at the level of the application and to cut even single requests of bots. Thanks to it, in addition to protection against DDoS attacks, service allows to protect the website or API of the client from parsing, automatic selection of passwords and any other harmful activity of bots.

The G-Protect service allows to protect the website, API or mobile application from DDoS attacks of any complexity and amount, and thanks to fast integration, we can begin to reflect the attack within several minutes. At the time of the attack we do not block the IP address, specific harmful sessions are blocked. It is very important point as a large number of users is for NAT (for example, using the mobile Internet or public Wi-Fi). And blocking of one IP address can result in unavailability of a web resource to hundreds or thousands of legitimate users. It, of course, inadmissibly. Sergey Andriyenko, head G-Protect

Protection of G-Protect will suit any online business: from online stores and banks to large media resources. Service distinguishes and cuts even single a bot requests which can collect data on cost and existence of goods because of what online stores lose clients and profit.

Advantages to business:

• economy on IT infrastructure (for connection it is only necessary to configure DNS record);
• fast integration thanks to a possibility of setup of service through a personal account;
• statistics in real time;
• protection against bots.

The G-Core Labs company creates one of the most effective network infrastructures for content delivery. That this efficiency did not turn back against their clients through popular DDoS attacks, the company develops products in a cyber security segment. It is extremely logical and necessary step for infrastructure of such level. Alexey Kalenchuk, director of acceleration of technologies of new media of Skolkovo Foundation
