Cloudflare-powered
Global edge mitigation
Suitable for protected network architecture where traffic needs to be filtered and steered before it reaches hosted infrastructure.
DDoS protection
A flood doesn't wait for your firewall to catch up.
By the time hostile traffic reaches your server's own rules, the damage is already done — the upstream link is what fills up first. Advika places hosted services behind upstream mitigation using Cloudflare-powered and StormWall partner protection paths, selected according to the workload, route and deployment location, so hostile traffic is filtered before it reaches the origin.
Network-layer filtering
Cloudflare-powered protection

24×7 incident support
Protection ecosystem
Two upstream mitigation paths, matched to the deployment.
Protection design is not one-size-fits-all. Advika can position eligible services behind Cloudflare-powered routing or a StormWall partner protection path based on the exposed service, traffic profile, location and required response model.
STORMWALL
Technology partner
StormWall protection option
Available for eligible network, server and application protection requirements where a StormWall-backed route is the better operational fit.
Why the server itself can't defend this
Local firewalls solve the wrong layer of the problem.
A volumetric attack doesn't try to break into your application — it just tries to drown the pipe leading to it. Once the link in front of your server saturates, nothing you've configured on the box itself matters, because legitimate traffic can no longer get through to reach those rules in the first place. Mitigation has to happen upstream, before the flood arrives at your door, not at it.
Filtering happens before your link fills up
Traffic is inspected and scrubbed at the network edge. Clean requests continue through to your server; the flood gets absorbed upstream where there's capacity built specifically to take it.
Built in, not bolted on afterward
Protection sits in front of the hosting itself rather than being an add-on you have to remember to configure correctly under pressure, mid-incident.
Useful anywhere uptime is the product
Game servers, APIs, SaaS backends, customer portals and any public-facing site where an hour of downtime is an hour of lost trust, not just lost traffic.
Where the coverage sits
What network protection actually helps with — and what it doesn't.
DDoS mitigation closes one specific, serious gap: the network path to your server. It was never meant to replace patched software, sane access control or a real backup plan, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Volumetric floods
Built around the raw traffic-volume attacks that try to overwhelm the link itself before a single request reaches your application.
Transport-layer attacks
TCP and UDP-based patterns aimed at exposed services get filtered at the network edge, ahead of your application logic ever seeing them.
Traffic steering
Hostile traffic gets routed through mitigation first; legitimate requests keep moving on a clean path to your hosted infrastructure.
Application security is still yours
Rate limiting, WAF rules, authentication and clean code remain necessary on top of network protection — this layer doesn't replace them.
Evidence when you need it
Timestamps, traffic samples and impact details make a real difference when you're reviewing an incident or escalating with us afterward.
Backups are a separate layer
Network protection doesn't undo a bad deploy, a compromised credential or accidental deletion — that's what a real backup policy is for.
Before you ask sales
Plain answers, not a sales pitch.
Does this make my server immune to attacks?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling. What it does is reduce your exposure significantly and give hostile traffic a much shorter path to being filtered out, rather than leaving your origin to absorb the full weight of an attack alone.
Is this on every plan, or something I have to add?
Cloudflare-powered and StormWall partner protection options are available across eligible Advika deployments. The exact path depends on the plan, location, traffic profile and signed service scope, so higher-risk workloads should be reviewed before ordering.
Do I still need to back up my own data?
Yes. Network protection defends the path to your server, not what happens to your data once traffic legitimately arrives. See our backup policy for what's covered and what's on you.
Will this slow down legitimate traffic?
Filtering happens at the network edge in the normal request path, not as a separate detour, so real visitors generally don't notice it's there. The goal is a shorter path for good traffic and a dead end for bad traffic, not the reverse.
