We’re excited to announce our new integration with Gcore, enabling fully automated DDoS mitigation through real-time detection and instant redirection to Gcore’s scrubbing centres.
With this integration, networks using FastNetMon Advanced can automatically detect and redirect DDoS traffic for scrubbing in under one second — with no manual operator intervention.
How it works
FastNetMon Advanced continuously analyses network traffic using NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX. When DDoS indicators are detected, FastNetMon automatically triggers a BGP announcement to redirect only the affected prefixes to Gcore’s scrubbing centre.
Gcore filters out malicious traffic and returns clean traffic to your network over a secure GRE tunnel. Once the attack subsides, routing is automatically restored to normal.
This integration combines FastNetMon’s real-time detection with Gcore’s advanced filtering infrastructure to deliver sub-second, zero-touch DDoS protection.
The Gcore + FastNetMon integration supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, ensuring comprehensive protection across all environments with the same response time and precision mitigation capabilities.
Benefits for your network
Reduced latency and better performance
FastNetMon only redirects traffic under attack, keeping normal traffic on the shortest path to your infrastructure. This selective diversion avoids unnecessary detours through scrubbing centres, reducing latency and preserving performance for legitimate users.
Lower costs through on-demand mitigation
With FastNetMon, scrubbing only happens when it’s needed. By activating Gcore’s filtering automatically during active attacks, you eliminate the expense of always-on protection while maintaining the same level of security.
Precision detection and faster recovery
FastNetMon continuously analyses network traffic in real time to detect DDoS indicators within seconds. Only the affected prefixes are redirected, and routing is automatically restored once the threat subsides — ensuring fast response and minimal disruption.
About FastNetMon scrubbing centre integrations
All automation scripts used for this integration are open-source and fully customisable, available in the official FastNetMon GitHub repository.
This new integration joins our growing ecosystem of automated scrubbing partnerships, including F5 and Cloudflare Magic Transit, allowing network operators to choose the provider that best fits their infrastructure.
