Frankfurt am Main, Germany, July 1st, 2026 — CyberNewswire
Link11, renowned as a leading European provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, has recently unveiled a thoroughly redesigned Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation solution. This development comes in response to the increasingly complex nature of modern networking threats, reflecting a robust commitment to enhancing digital defense mechanisms.
In the contemporary landscape, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have evolved far beyond their traditional forms. While earlier threats primarily involved straightforward volumetric or protocol-based assaults, current attacks frequently utilize compromised devices situated within trusted networks. Moreover, these sophisticated incursions often mimic legitimate traffic patterns, delivering short, intense bursts that leave minimal time for human intervention and manual response.
Link11’s Next-gen Network DDoS Protection introduces a state-of-the-art approach by combining behavior-based detection strategies with artificial intelligence, providing full coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructures essential for modern web applications. The solution emphasizes stronger automation, significantly reducing the dependency on manual configurations. This represents a pivotal architectural evolution in the realm of DDoS detection and mitigation, aligning with the trends of cybersecurity’s future needs.
Central to its design is a firm dedication to European data sovereignty. This mission is incorporated directly into the platform’s architecture; security data is hosted within Europe, thereby allowing organizations to maintain tight control over their data while negating concerns about regulatory uncertainties associated with non-European service providers.
Historically, many DDoS mitigation solutions relied heavily on fixed rule systems and static thresholds. While these approaches might have effectively countered certain volumetric attacks, they have proven inadequate against the more adaptive and AI-driven threats that characterize today’s cybersecurity landscape. Leveraging insights from over one million mitigated attacks, Link11 constructed its Network DDoS protection solution from the ground up, employing deep learning technologies to provide faster, smarter, and more precise defense mechanisms.
Jens-Philipp Jung, the CEO of Link11, articulated the underlying philosophy of this major redesign, noting, "Today’s DDoS attacks are increasingly AI-generated, precise, and designed to outsmart traditional detection logic." He emphasized that after over a year of development and rigorous testing, the new offering should not merely be viewed as an update but as a comprehensive overhaul meant to keep pace with the current and anticipated future threat landscape. His assertion—that entities tasked with safeguarding infrastructure require systems capable of autonomous operation—underpins the core innovation of the new solution.
The Next-Gen Network DDoS Protection goes above and beyond conventional behavioral analysis by pinpointing and mitigating each attack vector on an individual basis. This targeted approach minimizes the occurrence of false positives and accelerates the mitigation time, which has dramatically improved from under ten seconds for previously unknown vectors to an impressive sub-three-second response time. Known attack vectors continue to be addressed in near-real-time, ensuring robust and effective protection.
The latest iteration of Link11’s DDoS protection solution is built on advanced technology designed to enhance the ease of understanding and operation of DDoS protection measures. Features such as real-time logs, well-defined reason codes, and a completely overhauled dashboard provide security teams with enhanced visibility into the dynamics of attacks and the respective countermeasures that are employed. During ongoing attacks, teams can swiftly ascertain which traffic is being blocked or allowed, the rationale behind such decisions, and which services remain operational. This level of transparency is crucial for companies aiming to ensure the availability of services, protect revenue streams, and preserve essential business operations.
As Marc Lamik, the Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Link11, explains, "One guiding principle drove the development of this new solution: resilience is not a technical metric, but a business promise." This philosophy emphasizes the platform’s design, which seeks to empower users in upholding their commitments to business continuity and operational resilience.
The platform continually learns from real-time traffic behaviors, autonomously adapting its detection logic and significantly reducing the frequency with which manual adjustments are necessary. Consequently, this system not only streamlines the mitigation process but also lessens the burden on Security Operations Center (SOC) teams.
With comprehensive coverage for dual-stack infrastructures, thanks to its AI-driven technology, Link11’s Next-Gen Network DDoS Protection represents a significant step forward for cybersecurity solutions. Transitioning to this new service is seamless for existing customers, requiring no extensive configuration changes or downtime. The internal routing adjustment preserves existing baselines and protects ongoing operations during the switch.
Available now for both current and new Link11 customers, this innovative DDoS protection solution positions the company at the forefront of cyber defense strategies in the European market.
