Securus Shield
Keep public-facing services available during denial-of-service attacks
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks aim to overwhelm your internet facing services, taking websites, portals, and applications offline. Securus DDoS Protection helps you absorb, filter, and mitigate these attacks so that legitimate users can continue to access the services they need.
How Securus mitigates DDoS attacks
We work with you to identify which services are critical and how they are exposed to the internet. Using a combination of upstream filtering, scrubbing services, and on premise or cloud based controls, we design a DDoS protection strategy tailored to your risk profile. During an attack, malicious traffic is identified and blocked while legitimate traffic is allowed through. Our team monitors and tunes the service, providing postincident reporting to support internal and external stakeholders.

Cannot Afford to Go Offline
For many organisations, online services are now the front door to the business. Whether it is customer portals, bookings, remote working, or core applications, downtime quickly translates into lost revenue and reputational damage. Our DDoS Protection is designed for these always on environments, helping you keep services available when they are most needed.
Using the Securus Core
Because Securus operates its own high capacity core network, we can mitigate many attacks before they ever reach your infrastructure. Suspicious traffic is identified and diverted for scrubbing, while legitimate traffic continues to flow. This network level approach reduces the strain on your own firewalls, servers, and connectivity during an attack.
and Application Layer Attacks
DDoS threats are no longer limited to simple bandwidth floods. Attackers increasingly target specific services or protocols to exhaust resources more subtly. Our service is designed to address both high volume floods and more focused application layer attacks, helping to maintain availability across web, DNS, VPN, and other critical services.
High Pressure Incidents
A DDoS attack can be stressful, especially when customers or internal teams are experiencing disruption. We focus on straightforward communication throughout an event – what we are seeing, how mitigations are performing, and what to tell stakeholders. Your technical teams gain a clear picture of what is happening, without needing to manage complex network controls themselves.
Resilience and Recovery Plans
DDoS Protection is one part of a wider resilience strategy. We can align our service with your Disaster Recovery, hosting, and connectivity plans so that continuity options are considered in advance, not improvised during an outage. Combined with services like DRaaS, Managed Firewall, and MDR, you gain a more robust, layered defence against both disruption and compromise.
and Regulatory Expectations
Customers, partners, and regulators increasingly expect proof that you are taking availability and resilience seriously. Documented DDoS Protection can support contract negotiations, service level commitments, and risk assessments. We provide clear service descriptions and reporting to help you demonstrate that you are actively managing the risk of DDoS disruption.
