GateKeeper Cloud Protection is BotGuard's all-in-one solution for protecting Internet resources in clouds, data centers, and Internet clusters by filtering network traffic. It can recognize a wide range of threats, including DDoS and brute force attacks. Using GateKeeper Cloud Protection will also prevent server congestion and optimize network traffic for a more user-friendly experience.
BotGuard Cloud Protection is an advanced SaaS solution that provides comprehensive IT infrastructure protection by filtering network traffic and blocking threats at the application layer (L7). Designed for managed service providers (MSPs), the service uses BotGuard GateKeeper technology, which integrates a reverse proxy with advanced bot and hacker detection features. With this solution, MSPs can effectively protect their customers from DDoS attacks, hacking attempts, and other cyber threats, ensuring reliable and stable operation of their IT infrastructure.
BotGuard GateKeeper acts as the first line of defense, securing clients' servers by hiding the true IP address, making it much more difficult to launch targeted attacks. It offers full network protection through integration with services such as Web Application Firewall (WAF) and advanced security vulnerability protection.
Main features of BotGuard GateKeeper:
Full network protection - BotGuard GateKeeper uses all of BotGuard's advanced protection features, such as WAF and Vulnerability Scans Protection, to neutralize application-level threats and prevent DDoS attacks. By hiding the real IP address of the source server, it protects customers' infrastructure from targeted attacks.
Easily Scale and Optimize Performance - GateKeeper automatically distributes network traffic across multiple servers to increase processing speed and operational efficiency of servers. In case of DDoS attacks, the solution intelligently disperses traffic to avoid overloading individual servers.
Protection against DDoS attacks - advanced mechanisms for limiting the number of simultaneous connections and requests per client effectively protect sites from server overloads caused by DDoS attacks. In more complex scenarios, GateKeeper effectively distributes traffic coming from attackers across the cluster, increasing infrastructure resiliency.
Content caching and delivery optimization - GateKeeper uses caching technology to store static page elements close to end users, reducing page load times and improving user experience. As a result, server resources are saved and users have faster access to content.
Advanced SSL management - BotGuard GateKeeper moves SSL operations away from the web server, relieving the load and improving performance. It supports the latest TLS 1.3 and HTTP/3 cryptographic protocols, further speeding up encrypted connections with features such as TLS False Start and 0-RTT. All SSL certificates are automatically managed and renewed, ensuring the highest level of security.
Highest Security Rating - Websites protected by BotGuard GateKeeper receive an A+ rating from Qualys SSL Labs, demonstrating the highest standards of data protection and connection security.
Why is it worth it?
Reduced server load through content caching - by storing static page elements locally, GateKeeper reduces server load, reducing page load time and increasing end-user satisfaction.
Top-level security - SSL management and support for the latest cryptographic protocols ensure secure and stable connections for all users, regardless of the device they use.
Ease of deployment and management - BotGuard GateKeeper is easy to configure and integrate with existing systems, allowing MSPs to deploy security for customers quickly and efficiently.
With BotGuard Cloud Protection, MSPs can provide their customers with comprehensive protection against advanced network threats, performance optimization and scaling flexibility, resulting in better stability and security of IT services.
