Inter.link is expanding its DDoS Protection platform to the US East Coast with a new scrubbing centre, strengthening our cross-continental platform and bringing mitigation closer to customers across North America.
Why this location?
Latency matters, so customers want DDoS scrubbing centres as close to their infrastructure as possible. As a cross-continental NaaS provider, we continually look for ways to reduce latency and improve security across all regions covered by the Inter.link network; this means scrubbing as locally as possible.
This expansion comes at a time when DDoS attacks continue to grow. According to 2025 Threat Reports, the number of DDoS attacks surged by 121% in 2025, reaching 47.1 million attacks globally, while network-layer DDoS attacks more than tripled year-on-year.
Eliminate the Security vs Performance Trade-Off
Many DDoS protection solutions introduce an unwanted compromise: stronger security often comes at the cost of longer network paths, additional latency, and reduced application performance.
Inter.link minimizes the performance impact of mitigation.
Traffic destined for protected services can now be analysed and scrubbed locally on the East Coast before being delivered across the Inter.link network, allowing legitimate traffic to reach its destination without unnecessary detours.
The result is enterprise-grade DDoS protection while maintaining the low-latency connectivity that modern applications, cloud platforms, SaaS providers, ISPs, hosting companies, and enterprise networks depend on.
Inter.link’s Christian Backe said, “Cyber threats don’t respect borders—and neither should DDoS protection. Our U.S. scrubbing center extends Inter.link’s mitigation capabilities, ensuring customers receive local protection wherever their traffic flows.”
What Makes Inter.link Different?
Inter.link puts the focus on traffic visibility and efficiency when handling DDoS attacks.
Customers benefit from flexible deployment options, automated provisioning through an API-first platform, dedicated 24/7 network support, and seamless integration with Inter.link IP Transit services.
Rather than managing multiple vendors for connectivity and DDoS mitigation, organisations can consolidate critical network services under one provider, simplifying operations while improving performance and resilience.
The new East Coast scrubbing centre further strengthens this proposition by bringing mitigation capabilities closer to customer workloads, reducing response times during attacks and helping preserve application responsiveness and user experience.
A Stronger Cross-Continental Security Platform
The addition of the East Coast facility represents another step in Inter.link’s continued investment in resilient network infrastructure. Combined with our low-latency backbone, automation-first service delivery, premium IP Transit, and dedicated support, customers gain a security and connectivity platform designed for performance from day one.
For organisations where downtime is not an option, now is the time to review DDoS resilience before the second half of the year brings new traffic peaks, product launches, and operational demands.
Inter.link is partners with DDoS filtering solution specialist RioRey who is already based in the US.
