RioRey Director : At last, an affordable off-ramp DDoS solution integrated with our industry leading DDoS scrubbing technology


  • Centralized analysis of distributed flow data

  • Fast, automatic redirection of attack traffic to RioRey Scrubbing devices

  • Hierarchical policy for escalation workflows

  • Automated customizable upstream actions

  • Low operational burden for redirection and mitigation operations

  • Minimal specialized staff training

Spinning up a single-vendor off-ramp scrubbing center used to come with an extremely high barrier to entry in both cost and training/management overhead. The RioRey Director solution changes that narrative. The Director allows for large ISP and cloud DDoS scrubbing providers to deliver top tier DDoS scrubbing at a significantly reduced cost, while also lowering the entry threshold. With Director, smaller providers, hosters, and businesses can protect networks with multiple ingress points that would make in-line DDoS protection too expensive.

The RioRey Director VM detects suspected DDoS by ingesting flow data from your existing network equipment. Director automatically executes advanced work-flow based mitigation configurations and defined multi-tiered actions in response to detected DDoS traffic. Those mitigation actions include redirection to your off-ramp RioRey scrubbing hardware or VM, and automation of secondary network actions like upstream rate limiting, null routing, cloud scrubbing and more.

The RioRey Director works with our rWeb management platform to pull existing multi-tenant configurations (groups and zones) and allows the users to attach specific trigger and action workflows to those pre-defined entities. Director allows operators to achieve granular administrative control of how redirection and escalation actions take place on your network, without adding additional complexity when attacks occur.

Simple Off-Ramp Network when no attack is detected by Director

In this configuration Director sends only the victim IP’s traffic through the RioRey RIOS scrubbing devices. Legitimate traffic is returned to the network.


The RioRey Director’s flexibility makes it ideal for more complex scrubbing architectures.

In this example remote scrubbing is being offered as a service to external clients. The Director can remotely monitor flow data from the external client’s router and automatically BGP redirect to your scrubbing center housing RioRey RIOS scrubbing devices.

The rWeb central management platform allows for full multi-tenant architecture (including a customer portal functionality) which allows administrators to provide separate control, reporting and access control to each client.
