Advanced, integrated safety measures protect every facet of StackPath from the inside out, so that our services—and the solutions you build with them—have security as a first-order priority, not a second-thought add-on.
Many of our security measures cover the entire platform, thwarting malicious activity before it reaches our further hardened services.
Each StackPath service is hardened with protective features tailored to its specific operations and unique advantages.
The first requirement for anything we develop is that it must meet the highest level of security without sacrificing performance.
Our infrastructure uses one-of-a-kind server-level DDoS mitigation technologies and best practice network architecture design to block and mitigate DDoS attacks like no other platform, and to increase total platform security by learning from each new attack.
Our advanced architecture identifies and redirects DDoS attacks into strategic sinkholes, immediately eliminating their impact on customer systems. We analyze sunken traffic and use the intelligence to further strengthen our entire platform.
By default, all StackPath offerings have Layer 3 and 4 DDoS protection, courtesy of our unique hardware architecture. In addition, StackPath WAF adds Layer 7 DDoS protection to the domains under its protection.
Our DDoS mitigation technologies are in every server and every edge location, so traffic is analyzed and dispositioned right where and when it reaches our platform, protecting the performance and security of every StackPath service.
Hackers innovate. So our whole network is designed to defend against new threats as they emerge, as well as already known threats, and extends those advantages to each service we offer.
All network traffic through StackPath, including on our global private network backbone that connects all of our edge locations, is encrypted utilizing both IPSec and TLS
Our automated platform executes regular ping sweeps and port and vulnerability scans for the detection of unauthorized usage of protocols, ports, and services, on all facets of our infrastructure.
Every StackPath service provides extensive configuration management options for establishing authentication, preventing data gathering, and resolving issues in the rare case they arise.
Our network Points of Presence, placed in strategic locations worldwide, are operated with strict security policies and procedures to ensure the highest level of access control and system security.
Our encrypted database verifies over 31,000 data points for access.
Live camera feeds continuously monitor and record activity at every physical point of access and inside every cage of every facility.
Human access to any facility or location requires visual sign-in and credential verification from highly trained security personnel.
Our 65Tbps global network features an advanced architecture, customized hardware, redundant tier-1 carrier connections, and full stack deployment in each location to create a platform that’s safer, faster, and far more flexible.
Our platform is fully automated and driven by robust, open APIs, which we’ve also used to build a powerful yet easy-to-use customer portal, giving you direct access to and control over your services and account.
