Corero SmartWall

Industry-leading protection, included as standard

Real-time, in-line DDoS defence at the edge of our AS48825 network — protecting every service we host, automatically.

Always-On Protection

Unlike legacy on-demand scrubbing, our Corero SmartWall appliances sit in-line at the network edge — every packet is inspected continuously, so attacks are blocked the instant they begin.

600Gbps Capacity

Massive mitigation headroom handles even the largest and most complex volumetric DDoS attacks with ease, keeping clean traffic flowing to your services without interruption.

Sub-Second Mitigation

SmartWall detects and surgically removes attack traffic in real time — typically within seconds rather than the tens of minutes legacy solutions take to react.

Surgical Filtering

Attack packets are removed at line rate while legitimate traffic passes through untouched — no blackholing your IP, no collateral damage, no false positives taking you offline.

Network-Wide Defence

Protection is built into our AS48825 BGP network itself, defending every VPS, dedicated server, colocated rack and hosting account behind it — automatically.

Performance Under Attack

In-line, hardware-accelerated filtering adds virtually zero latency, so your applications stay fast and responsive even while an attack is being mitigated.

How it works

From attack to mitigation in seconds

No traffic redirection, no scrubbing-centre delays and nothing to switch on — protection is in-line, automatic and always active.

Continuous Inspection

Every packet entering our AS48825 network passes through Corero SmartWall appliances deployed in-line at the edge — there's nothing to enable and no traffic redirection.

Real-Time Detection

Hardware-accelerated heuristics and behavioural analysis identify attack traffic in real time, distinguishing malicious packets from legitimate users with surgical precision.

Automatic Mitigation

Attack traffic is dropped at line rate — typically within seconds — while clean traffic continues to flow. Your services stay online and your users notice nothing.

Visibility & Reporting

Our NOC monitors mitigation events around the clock. For sustained or unusual campaigns, our UK team provides detailed attack analysis on request.

Threat coverage

Every attack vector, covered

Modern DDoS campaigns combine multiple techniques and rotate them mid-attack. SmartWall counters them all — automatically.

Volumetric Floods

UDP floods, ICMP floods, DNS/NTP/SSDP amplification & reflection

Massive bandwidth-saturation attacks designed to overwhelm your connectivity are absorbed by our 600Gbps mitigation capacity at the edge.

Protocol & State Attacks

SYN floods, ACK floods, fragmented packets, TCP state exhaustion

Attacks that exhaust firewalls, load balancers and server connection tables are identified and dropped at line rate before they reach your infrastructure.

Application-Layer Attacks

HTTP/HTTPS floods, low-and-slow attacks, repeated GET/POST abuse

Sophisticated Layer 7 attacks that mimic real users are detected through behavioural analysis and surgically filtered without blocking genuine visitors.

Multi-Vector Campaigns

Carpet-bombing, rotating vectors, short-burst hit-and-run attacks

Modern attacks switch techniques mid-campaign. Always-on inspection means every new vector is countered automatically — with no manual intervention.

8 common questions

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack floods your server or network with malicious traffic to knock your services offline. Even short outages cost revenue and reputation. Fast2host includes always-on, 600Gbps Corero SmartWall DDoS protection with every service, so attacks are blocked automatically before they affect you.
