DDoS protection for enterprises and financial institutions, without the infrastructure investment to match.

Enterprises and financial institutions face sophisticated, targeted attacks but rarely have the edge capacity to run meaningful on-premise mitigation. rCloud changes that equation: full-spectrum DDoS protection, European scrubbing centers, and complete visibility, without owning a scrubbing center.

The challenges you face

  • Edge capacity

    Your uplinks were not sized for volumetric attacks

    Most enterprises and financial institutions connect to the internet through relatively modest uplinks. A serious volumetric attack saturates that capacity before any on-premise filtering can act. Effective protection has to sit upstream.

  • Availability requirement

    Downtime is measured in lost transactions and regulatory exposure

    For financial institutions in particular, service availability is not just an operational metric. Outages have direct revenue impact, trigger regulatory reporting obligations, and create reputational damage that outlasts the attack itself.

  • False positives

    Blocking legitimate traffic is as damaging as the attack

    Overly aggressive mitigation that drops valid customer transactions or partner connections is not acceptable. Protection that preserves legitimate traffic while removing attack traffic is a non-negotiable requirement at this level.

Where your traffic and data are handled

European scrubbing centers and an EU-hosted management platform.

The current environment makes vendor infrastructure location a real procurement consideration, not just a compliance checkbox. European enterprises and financial institutions are re-evaluating relationships with vendors whose infrastructure sits outside European jurisdiction. rCloud scrubs traffic in European centers in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Berlin and London, the rWeb management platform is EU-hosted, and GDPR applies across the platform. That is not a marketing position, it is the architecture.

  • Scrubbing centers

    Four European centers

    Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Berlin and London, plus Ashburn, Virginia in the US. Current locations are listed on the rCloud page.

  • Management platform

    rWeb hosted in the EU

    Your management interface, reporting data, and configuration are EU-hosted.

  • Compliance

    GDPR applicable

    EU hosting means GDPR governs how your data is handled across the platform.

Deployment paths in order of fit

  1. Best fit for most

    rCloud only

    Hand scrubbing to rCloud. Your traffic is routed to rCloud during an attack, filtered using the same RIOS analytics that run on every RioRey device, and returned clean. You retain full visibility and direct mitigation control through rWeb throughout. No hardware to procure, no scrubbing infrastructure to operate.

    Scrubbing:
    rCloud, all 25 attack classes, Layer 3 to 7
    Management:
    rWeb portal with full attack visibility and controls
    Requirement:
    At least one /24 (IPv4) that rCloud can announce on your behalf
    Activation:
    Same-day deployment available

    No edge hardware required

  2. Hybrid: small on-premise with rCloud overflow

    A modest on-premise filtering instance sized to your actual ISP uplinks handles day-to-day attacks locally with minimal latency. rCloud absorbs anything that exceeds that capacity. This model gives you the speed advantage of local filtering for common attacks while retaining cloud capacity for large volumetric events. How hybrid DDoS protection works.

    On-premise:
    RE10, RE4010 series, or rVM-1 through rVM-10 matched to your uplink
    Cloud overflow:
    rCloud
    Traffic steering:
    RioRey Director
    Management:
    Unified rWeb across both layers

    Matched to your uplink size

  3. On-premise only

    For organizations that require maximum control over their filtering infrastructure and have the network capacity to support it. Full RIOS protection deployed at your edge with no dependency on cloud routing. Suitable where data sovereignty requirements mandate on-site processing.

    VM:
    rVM series on your own servers
    Management:
    rWeb on-premise

    Maximum control

The detection approach

Financial institutions are targeted specifically. Generic protection is not enough.

Attackers who target banks and financial infrastructure are not running commodity tools. They use blended attacks that combine volumetric floods with low-rate application-layer traffic designed to look legitimate. RioRey's analytics cover the full spectrum of the RioRey Taxonomy of DDoS Attacks, from large UDP floods to slow HTTP attacks that bypass most detection systems. Because detection is built on attack methodology rather than signatures or baselines, there is no warm-up period and no rule update required when new variants emerge. The same logic that catches a known attack type catches the next variation automatically.
