Company extends global footprint and customer
experience with nodes now available across 16 regions
Vercara, a leading provider of cloud-based services that secure
the online experience, is launching a new distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) and application security (AppSec) point of
presence (PoP) in Toronto, Canada. As Vercara’s first node in the
region, the PoP further extends the global footprint of the
company’s UltraDDoS Protect and UltraWAF (web application firewall)
solutions. The new regional scrubbing center provided by this PoP
also enables Vercara to provide existing customers within Canada
with an in-country data processing and mitigation option.
As DDoS attacks have continued to evolve and grow, Vercara has
consistently made the network investments to keep up with these
changing threats. Large Canadian financial, government, healthcare,
education, and other regulated businesses have expressed a strong
desire for an UltraDDoS Protect and UltraWAF node in Canada. These
entities are under increased pressure to ensure data sovereignty
for their customers by keeping Canadian data traffic within Canada.
The new Toronto-based node provides excellent local connectivity
options for customers in the region. It is scheduled to go online
in Q3 2024.
With this new data center, Vercara extends its expansive network
even further by providing:
- Closer Geographic Proximity – provides a lower latency
experience to customers in the Canadian market
- Traffic Localization – ensures legitimate, non-attack
traffic within the region stays in the region
- Data Sovereignty – a Canadian mitigation center helps
maintain national data sovereignty to meet the changing
requirements of privacy regulations
The launch marks the company’s 16th node, adding to its existing
PoPs in the U.S., Latin America, UK, EMEA, Asia Pacific, Australia,
and the Middle East. Vercara continues to invest in increasing the
capacity and resilience of its network, boasting more than 15
Terabits per second (Tbps) of total DDoS attack mitigation
scrubbing capacity globally. The network offers the scale necessary
to handle the largest DDoS attacks and the breadth of coverage to
provide a low latency experience everywhere Vercara customers do
business.
“Canada is home to many of our valued customers, including a
deep set of enterprise and government institutions, and a host to
many large, multi-national corporations that provide
mission-critical services to consumers and businesses,” said Carlos
Morales, SVP of solutions at Vercara. “We are pleased to expand our
global UltraDDoS Protect and UltraWAF network into Toronto to
better serve our customers’ needs and provide organizations with a
proven solution for local DDoS attack mitigation and application
security.”
