How We Help Ensure Cloud Service Security
06 May, 2026 | 4 min
A cloud provider with a systematic cybersecurity approach delivers convenient, fault-tolerant cloud services through proactively protected IT infrastructure.
Full autonomous system traffic cleanup comprehensively secures cloud and infosec offerings.

Challenge
- DDoS protection for IT infrastructure—any attack size.
- Automatic blocking, no IP ban required.
- Filtered traffic via a dedicated delivery channel.
"We primarily protect against L4 attacks on our infrastructure, which generate junk traffic that overloads uplinks and disrupts cloud service delivery. Targeted client attacks pose greater risk, potentially impacting the entire infrastructure and other users. Public internet-facing services remain vulnerable to exploitation and L7 attacks."
Director of Cloud Services Operations, Cloud Provider
Solution
Cloud protection is delivered via direct connection to the Strictera NDP, with autonomous system subnets advertised to Strictera as a secure internet access provider.
All cloud traffic undergoes initial network attack analysis and blocking if needed. Clean, secure traffic then flows via a dedicated 10-gigabit channel to the cloud infrastructure.

"Strictera serves as the upstream for our autonomous system. Upon connection, we agreed on a pool of protected IP addresses, enabling our 'Internet Channel with DDoS Protection' service. Clients immediately select their preferred channel; protected IPs are advertised exclusively to the secure upstream."

One targeted DDoS attack on a /32 subnet in July 2025 was automatically redirected to Strictera's filtering center.
Despite 70+ Gbps and 7+ Mpps—far exceeding customer bandwidth—no other protected prefixes required redirection. All cloud services remained stable and available.

Results
Thanks to Strictera NDP, cloud clients experience instant, seamless blocking of targeted DDoS attacks on subnets.
"When Strictera NDP detects and blocks a DDoS attack, we receive an alert and immediately notify the client per policy. Clients are often surprised to learn they hadn’t noticed it—their services continue functioning normally."
Director of Cloud Services Operations, Cloud Provider
"The main result of connecting Strictera is that we protect our infrastructure from DDoS attacks at a predictable cost, without expanding uplinks, hiring and training specialists to support the solution, or incurring other significant capital expenditures. We are confident that by choosing Strictera, we have optimized our costs."
