About Sucuri WAF
Sucuri provides website security with the protection included in our WAF (Web Application Firewall)..
Our infrastructure is built within our very own proprietary Anycast content delivery network (CDN).
Unlike other WAF products on the market, Sucuri does not charge for bandwidth throughput, or other traffic-based metrics,
About Anycast Networking
Anycast is a network routing method where different data centers announce the same IP addresses, making them reachable at multiple destinations. When that happens, routers have multiple choices where to send your requests and will default to the one with the shortest distance (fewer hops). Because of this, Anycast improves network connectivity and has several other benefits:
- Geo load balancing
- Increased reliability (one data center can go down without affecting others)
- Performance improvements
- Distributed response to DDoS attacks
Primary Benefits
- Redundancy – If we experience network fluctuation or a hardware error causing downtime at one location, that location will stop advertising that website, and automatically reroute traffic to the next closest POP.
- Protection – We can protect customer sites from attacks that would bring down most hosting providers and networks.
- Flexibility – This relates back to number 1 on the list. We can perform any type of upgrade or maintenance on our POPs without impacting the customer
Please note: every POP is identical to another. They all advertise the same websites and advertise the same Anycast IP addresses.
If you have questions about Anycast or our network infrastructure, Contact us via email, live chat, or 24/7 through our support ticketing system for existing Sucuri customers.
