DDoS Mitigation
Stop bad actors at the gates with DDoS protection built directly into Summit’s network.
Get DDoS protectionProactive or On-Demand — You Choose
Summit’s DDoS mitigation fits your risk tolerance, whether you want always-on protection or rapid-response coverage when an attack hits.
Always-On Protection
Continuous traffic monitoring with automated mitigation that fires the moment anomalies are detected — before you’re even aware of an attack.
On-Demand Response
Every Summit network customer has access to DDoS scrubbing on demand. When an attack hits, we activate full mitigation — fast.
Optional Add-ons
Extend your coverage with additional visibility and protection.
Built to Stop Attacks at Every Layer
Volumetric, protocol, application, encrypted — Summit’s mitigation stack handles them all.
Full-Stack Protection (L3–L7, SSL)
Defends against volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks — including encrypted SSL traffic.
AI-Powered Behavioral Analytics
Continuously monitors traffic patterns to spot subtle anomalies and evolving threats before they escalate.
Real-Time Detection & Mitigation
Identifies and neutralizes attacks in under 5 minutes, minimizing downtime and business impact.
Global Scrubbing Network
Enterprise-grade capacity up to 3000 Gbps absorbs even the largest volumetric attacks with near-zero latency impact.
Transparent Reporting
Real-time visibility into attack status and mitigation actions — no black-box logic, no guessing what’s happening.
24/7 Expert Support
Certified network engineers provide round-the-clock monitoring and rapid response — the people who know your environment.
Who Needs Managed DDoS Mitigation
Any organization where downtime has a real cost.
Why Teams Get Caught Off Guard
DDoS attacks are inevitable for most businesses. These are the gaps that make them worse than they need to be.
Detection Comes Too Late
Solutions that react rather than anticipate leave your business exposed for the minutes that matter most.
False Positives Hurt Customers
Aggressive scrubbing that blocks legitimate traffic costs you real revenue and damages customer trust.
Limited In-House Resources
Complex mitigation workflows demand security expertise most teams don’t have on staff — especially at 2am.
Evolving Attack Vectors
Attacks now target apps, APIs, and encrypted traffic — not just raw bandwidth. Legacy protections don’t keep up.
Black-Box Providers
Opaque mitigation means you never know what’s being blocked, why, or what happened — until it’s too late to learn from it.
Unpredictable Costs
Emergency mitigation fees and bandwidth surges turn an attack into a financial hit on top of an operational one.
Summit was instrumental in our mitigation/response today.
Mitigation You Can See.
Engineers You Can Reach.
Most DDoS providers are a black box. Summit is the opposite — full transparency into every mitigation action, backed by engineers who built your network.

Common Questions
What you should know before an attack happens.
Yes. Every client connected to Summit’s network has access to DDoS scrubbing. For most customers, that means basic protection is always available. The managed DDoS Mitigation service adds always-on behavioral monitoring, certified engineer oversight, transparent reporting, and optional SSL scrubbing for higher-risk environments.
Summit detects and begins mitigating attacks in under 5 minutes. Automated thresholds can trigger scrubbing immediately, and our engineers are notified in real time to oversee and adjust the response as the attack evolves.
Summit’s mitigation covers the full stack — volumetric attacks at L3/L4 (SYN floods, UDP amplification, etc.), protocol attacks, and application-layer (L7) attacks targeting web apps and APIs. With the SSL Scrubbing add-on, encrypted traffic is covered as well.
The managed service is available to data center customers using Summit’s IP Transit service. Each deployment is tailored to your traffic patterns and risk profile. Contact our team to discuss your environment.
Pricing is per diversion per year, scoped to your traffic volume and risk profile. You get predictable annual costs with no emergency surcharges or bandwidth overage fees during an active attack. Contact our team for a custom quote.
Summit’s AI-powered behavioral analytics and scrubbing engine are tuned to minimize false positives. We establish baselines for your normal traffic patterns during onboarding, so mitigation is targeted — not a blunt instrument that blocks customers along with the attack traffic.
