Corero DDoS Protection Reviews & Product Details

Corero's Business Continuity platform combines SmartWall ONE DDoS protection with CORE network intelligence to provide automated threat mitigation and traffic visibility. The platform operates across layers 3 through 7 of the OSI model, delivering sub-second inline mitigation with typical latency below 0.5 microseconds. SmartWall ONE provides real-time DDoS detection and automated mitigation through behavioral analysis and intelligent traffic filtering. Detection mechanisms include Behavioral Smart-Rules using machine learning and heuristics for volumetric attacks including zero-day techniques, and Programmable Flex-Rules for blocking known attack vectors. Protection covers TCP/UDP/SYN/ICMP floods, HTTP/HTTPS floods, DNS amplification, reflective attacks, TLS encryption attacks, low-and-slow attacks, resource exhaustion, IP fragmentation, carpet bombing, and application-layer threats. Layer 7 capabilities address OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, brute-force attacks, credential stuffing, API abuse, and bot traffic through adaptive analytics. Zero Trust Admission Control filters unauthenticated traffic to remote access infrastructure including VPN concentrators and Zero Trust Network Access endpoints. CORE Traffic Analysis provides real-time visibility into inbound traffic volumes, sources, and costs for peering optimization and transit expense management. The system generates metrics from router interfaces and inline devices, presenting traffic classification by source type, transit/peering relationships, and provider attribution. Organizations use CORE to identify high-traffic applications, optimize peering decisions, analyze bandwidth costs, and plan infrastructure capacity. The platform supports deployment as physical appliances with throughput from 80 Gbps to 800 Gbps, virtual software on KVM and VMware ESXi, and bare metal installations on Dell, HPE, and SuperMicro servers. Organizations deploy in inline, scrubbing, or hybrid cloud topologies. Multi-site resiliency synchronizes security policies across data centers automatically. Integration capabilities include REST API, syslog, BGP RTBH and FlowSpec signaling, gNMI interface for router telemetry, Akamai Prolexic cloud-burst capacity exceeding 20 Tbps, Juniper routers, and ServiceNow connector. The platform consolidates protection and traffic intelligence through centralized management interfaces providing policy administration and analytics. Optional SecureWatch Maintain services provide system monitoring and software update installation delivered by Corero's Security Operations Center.

What do you dislike about Corero DDoS Protection?

I believe that it is somewhat weak in the field of attack forensics. It’s therefore important after a DDoS attack to determine where the attack originated and the type of attack to enable preventive measures to be put in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
