Arelion launches built-in SecureConnect DDoS mitigation solutions for enterprise and wholesale customers amid rising AI threats

 Arelion today announced the release of its SecureConnect Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and SecureConnect Transit solutions, providing automated DDoS mitigation to enterprise and wholesale customers. These products are bundled into Arelion’ global connectivity services, including IP Transit and DIA, making them simple add-ons for any IP or DIA customer. SecureConnect strengthens frontline security as AI-enabled network attacks increasingly target automotive, manufacturing, financial services and other critical industries, and the suppliers to those industries.

SecureConnect automatically detects common DDoS attack types, especially volumetric threats, then uses the Flowspec protocol to stop attacks at the network edge. This functionality provides Arelion’s customers with more granular DDoS mitigation than brute-force defenses, such as blackholing, without adding implementation complexity. SecureConnect can also improve companies’ chances of meeting International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification requirements without major investment. With edge-based Flowspec defenses in SecureConnect and global scrubbing centers across Europe, the Americas and Asia strengthening its full DDoS mitigation service, Arelion protects customers against today’s increasingly weaponized internet, giving them greater confidence in their global connectivity evolution.

SecureConnect addresses rising risks across global networks, helping enterprises block AI-enabled threats that attempt to overwhelm defenses with smaller, higher-frequency attacks. Arelion’s network data shows that the average volumetric attack size increased by 97 percent from 2023 to 2024, reflecting attackers’ ability to leverage greater available capacities year-on-year. Another report shows that over 50 percent of automotive and manufacturing leaders see cybersecurity as their top network challenge, recognizing that AI-enabled threats facilitate an endless cycle of attack and defense.
