We exist for one reason: to keep you online.
DEFLECTO was built by engineers who were tired of watching good businesses go down to cheap attacks. A flood that costs the sender a few dollars should not be able to take a working company off the internet for a day, and for most of the internet it still can.
Deflecting attacks should not be a luxury.
Good DDoS protection has long been complicated, expensive and reserved for the largest companies. Everyone else got a checkbox in a control panel and a hope. We make it accessible, clear and always-on, so whether you stay reachable is settled before the traffic arrives, not negotiated during an incident.
- Proof of work, not a wall
- Suspicious clients are handed a computational challenge instead of a block page or a CAPTCHA. Legitimate traffic passes invisibly. A flood has to fund the arithmetic for every request it makes.
- Attacks are never metered
- Plans are quoted in legitimate requests forwarded to your origin. Hostile traffic never touches the quota, so an attack costs you exactly nothing.
The decisions the product is built on.
Not a company history. These are the choices that shaped the code, and the reason the alternative was worse in each case.
Refuse early
A request should be discarded at the cheapest possible point. Filtering in the network driver, before the kernel has built a socket for it, costs a fraction of filtering in the application, which in turn costs a fraction of letting it reach your origin. Every layer a hostile packet survives is budget spent on an attacker's behalf.
Make the attacker pay
Proof of work inverts the economics of a flood. Volume stops being free: each suspicious request has to carry a completed computation before we will look at it, and difficulty climbs with load. Real visitors clear the challenge in a moment and never see it. A botnet has to buy the CPU for every request it sends.
Never bill someone for being attacked
Quota counts legitimate requests forwarded to your origin, nothing else. Floods, blocked probes and challenged bots are free. Metered per-request billing does the opposite: it turns an incident into an invoice and charges the victim for the attacker's volume. We would rather absorb that cost than send it to you.
Fail visible, not silent
Every refusal is logged, counted and attributable to the rule that made it. Silent drops are how outages hide: traffic simply stops arriving, nobody can say which decision removed it, and the investigation starts from nothing. If we deny a request, you can find out exactly why.
Every commitment in writing
Availability and mitigation time are contractual terms with penalties attached, not best effort in a marketing sentence. A promise that costs nothing to break is not a promise, it is a preference.
What guides the calls we make.
Uptime, not excuses
We measure success one way: your infrastructure stays reachable. Every decision here is judged against that, and nothing else counts as a good week.
Radical transparency
No ambiguous best effort. We show exactly what was deflected, when and how, and we stand behind those figures in writing.
Speed of response
Attacks keep no schedule, so neither do we. Emergency onboarding, continuous monitoring and real people at the end of the line.
We put what we promise in writing.
A protection service that commits to nothing does not really protect you. Every DEFLECTO contract carries terms you can hold us to, and a consequence for us if we miss them.
- Guaranteed availability, written into your contract as a figure
- Automatic sub-second deflection, with no human in the path
- Emergency support 24/7/365, answered by real people
- Contractual penalties if we miss the SLA
- Post-incident reports for every major attack
