About Gcore Shield

Gcore Shield is the DDoS protection service from Gcore, the Luxembourg-headquartered edge cloud provider. It runs on a network with over 200 Tbps of filtering capacity that has mitigated attacks above 1 Tbps, blocking volumetric floods, TCP/UDP attacks (SYN, RST, connection exhaustion) and application-layer threats with machine-learning analysis of request patterns. Scrubbing centres are designed to add zero latency to legitimate traffic. L3/L4 protection is available on a free pay-as-you-go plan; the Start plan is $275/month for 100 Mbps clean traffic, with Pro at $495 and Pro+ at $1,045/month.
