Comparing Engines – MitigationPro vs. The Competition

Yesterday we talked about how the Black Lotus MitigationPro by IntruGuard leverages a custom engineered FPGA to mitigate DDoS attacks at full line rate, without performance impact. Today, we’ll go into further depth. Simply put, MitigationPro is a hardware based filtering solution that performs much like a network switch, moving traffic from point A to point B, efficiently. Our closest competitors are using x86 based servers using custom engineered software packages. These are therefore, software based solutions.
