SmartWall ONE by Corero Network Security is a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection platform providing real-time, automated mitigation for network-layer (L3-4) and application-layer (L7) threats. The system utilizes real-time packet inspection, a heuristics-based engine, behavioral analysis, and machine learning to identify and block anomalous traffic, including volumetric floods, protocol abuse, multi-vector attacks, and threats within encrypted traffic. It operates at line rates from 10G up to 800 Gbps with sub-millisecond latency, achieving sub-second mitigation response times without reliance on traffic baselining.
The modular platform is designed for on-premises, cloud, virtual, and hybrid environments, integrating into existing network architectures. It can be deployed on purpose-built hardware, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, and in virtualized environments (KVM, vSphere). For mitigation, the system can operate inline or integrate with edge routers using protocols like BGP FlowSpec and Netconf to filter traffic at the network perimeter without rerouting. It includes a centralized management console with analytics dashboards that ingest router telemetry data to provide continuous traffic visibility, forensic-level reporting, multi-site policy replication, and multi-tenant support. Optional integration with cloud-based scrubbing services is available for handling excess traffic capacity.
