GWx: DDoS Mitigation

Minimize the impact of DDoS attacks.

The attack load is distributed to several GWx systems, similar to how it behaves with side arms of a river.

1st Layer w/ multiple IP addresses in 10+ EU countries
2nd Layer w/ hidden IP addresses
Protection of hidden backend servers
Selection of powerful systems w/ high bandwidth
Logging of security-related events and incident response
Specifically hardened perimeter gateways
Restrictive stateful firewall ruleset
Including monitoring infrastructure (Syslog/NetFlow)
