Stop Paying for a Platform
When You Need a Solution.

Most DDoS mitigation products come loaded with features you’ll never use — and a price tag your customers end up paying for. BlueDot builds exactly the protection your application needs, at the throughput your network demands.

The Real Cost of Full-Stack Vendors

When an OEM or service provider evaluates DDoS mitigation from an incumbent vendor, they’re buying an entire platform — deep packet inspection engines, threat intelligence feeds, management consoles, reporting dashboards, multi-tenant orchestration. A full stack built for the largest carriers in the world.

If you’re building an embedded device or a focused protection service, you need none of that. You need one thing: the ability to drop volumetric attack traffic at line rate before it exhausts the state of everything downstream.

But you pay for the full platform anyway. And that cost rolls into your product. And your product becomes price-competitive with enterprise-grade scrubbing centers — which is not where you want to be.

The Quantum Framework changes that math.

Built for the Operators Who Need It Most

Embedded Device OEMs

You’re building a security appliance, a CPE device, or a network edge product. Your customers are being hit with volumetric floods — UDP amplification, SYN floods, ICMP storms — that exhaust connection state before any traffic reaches the service. You need mitigation built into the forwarding plane, not bolted on.

Service Providers with Focused Exposure

Your customers aren’t facing every attack vector in the threat landscape — they’re facing the specific ones that target your service type. A gaming platform faces different volumetric patterns than a DNS provider. You need protection calibrated to your attack surface, not a generic enterprise scrubbing profile.

OEMs Who Need Flexible Deployment

You need to ship both an embedded card version and a standalone appliance version — different hardware, same protection, same API. You don’t want to maintain two codebases or buy two vendor platforms.

High-Throughput Volumetric Protection,
Built for Your Attack Surface

VPP processes packets at line rate across every CPU core in parallel. We write a custom plugin that encodes exactly the mitigation logic your application needs — the protocols, the thresholds, the response actions — and the Quantum Framework scales it across the full forwarding plane.

No scrubbing center. No hairpinning traffic to a cloud service. Mitigation happens inline at the forwarding layer, at wire speed, before attack traffic ever reaches your stateful infrastructure.

What we focus on:

Volumetric flood mitigation at 40G–400G line rate
State exhaustion prevention — protecting TCP/UDP state tables downstream
Custom attack surface profiling — we focus on the vectors that actually affect your customers, not a generic threat taxonomy
Runtime rule insertion — update mitigation policy without dataplane restarts
Per-protocol, per-port, per-source filtering via the Aegis Filter

Embedded or Standalone — Your Choice

Embedded in Your Product

The Quantum mitigation engine runs as a PCIe-attached processing card inside your existing product enclosure. Your brand, your chassis, our forwarding plane. Customers see your appliance — not a third-party scrubbing box.

Standalone Appliance

Deploy as a bump-in-the-wire appliance on standard COTS hardware. Sits inline in front of your service infrastructure. 1U or 2U. No proprietary silicon required. Scale throughput by choosing the right server — not by buying a new vendor platform tier.

Both deployment modes run the same Quantum plugin, the same API, the same management interface.

The Comparison That Matters

Incumbent Vendor Platform Quantum Framework
What you pay for Full enterprise feature set Only the mitigation function you need
Throughput scaling Buy the next platform tier Add CPU cores
Hardware dependency Vendor-specified appliance Any x86 or ARM COTS server
Deployment flexibility Appliance only Embedded or standalone
Attack surface tuning Generic profiles Custom-built for your application
Time to market Long procurement cycle 90 days from requirements

Tell Us What You’re Protecting

Every DDoS engagement starts with a conversation about your specific attack surface — what protocols, what volumes, what’s downstream that you’re protecting. From there we scope the plugin and the deployment model.
