Link11, a leading European provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, has announced the launch of its completely rebuilt Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation solution. Designed to address the growing complexity of modern network attacks, the new platform combines behavior-based, AI-driven detection with full IPv4 and IPv6 coverage for modern infrastructures.
Today’s DDoS attacks are no longer simple volume or protocol attacks. They can originate from compromised devices within trusted networks, mimic real traffic, and appear in short, high-intensity bursts that leave little time for manual response. The Next-gen Network DDoS Protection from Link11 is built to counter these evolving threats with greater automation and less reliance on manual tuning.
The platform is designed entirely with European data sovereignty in mind, running on Link11’s own cloud infrastructure with security data hosted in Europe. This enables companies to maintain control over their data, mitigate legal uncertainties, and minimize reliance on non-European cloud providers.
Previous solutions often relied on rigid rule systems and static thresholds. While effective against volumetric attacks, this approach is no longer sufficient against today’s AI-driven, adaptive attack patterns. Link11 rebuilt the Network DDoS solution from the ground up, combining insights from more than one million mitigated attacks with deep learning to deliver faster, smarter, and more precise protection.
“Today’s DDoS attacks are increasingly AI-generated, precise, and designed to outsmart traditional detection logic,” said Jens-Philipp Jung, Link11’s CEO. “After more than 12 months of development and testing, we don’t see this product as just an update. Rather, we see it as a complete redesign: a platform that keeps pace with the current threat landscape and will also meet future requirements.”
With Next-Gen Network DDoS Protection, Link11 goes beyond traditional behavioral analysis by analyzing and mitigating each attack vector individually. Rather than responding with a blanket response, targeted countermeasures are initiated. This significantly reduces false positives and accelerates mitigation time to under three seconds for unknown vectors, down from the previous under 10 seconds.
Built on state-of-the-art technology, the new solution provides real-time logs, reason codes, and a completely redesigned dashboard. Security teams gain deep visibility into how attacks unfold and how mitigation measures are applied. During an attack, teams can quickly see which traffic is being blocked or allowed, why those decisions are being made, and which services remain available.
“One guiding principle drove the development of this new solution: resilience is not a technical metric, but a business promise. Next-gen Network DDoS Protection is designed to help users keep this promise,” explained Marc Lamik, CPO of Link11.
The platform continuously learns from live traffic patterns and adapts its detection logic automatically, significantly reducing the need for manual fine-tuning and SOC team intervention. It provides full IPv4 and IPv6 coverage for consistent protection across modern dual-stack infrastructures.
For existing customers, switching to the new version requires no configuration effort. The migration involves an internal routing change and does not cause any downtime. Baselines and configurations are preserved, and protection remains uninterrupted during the switch.
Next-gen Network DDoS Protection is now available for existing and new Link11 customers.
