In a strategic move to bolster its position in the cybersecurity sector, Link11 has successfully integrated DOSarrest and Reblaze Technologies into a unified platform, accompanied by a refreshed brand identity. This consolidation aims to provide a seamless user experience, heightened efficiency, and robust security measures. As a European-based provider, Link11 is addressing the escalating business risks stemming from geopolitical uncertainties and stringent compliance requirements, while simultaneously safeguarding critical business processes on a global scale.
The acquisitions of DOSarrest in 2021 and Reblaze Technologies in 2024 have significantly expanded Link11’s market presence. The newly introduced Link11 Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform amalgamates comprehensive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection with machine learning-driven adaptive security and API protection. This integration results in a unique combination of real-time traffic filtering, artificial intelligence-powered bot detection, and a next-generation web application firewall, all within a single suite designed to ensure secure and encrypted interactions.
In late 2023, Link11 secured an investment of €26.5 million from Pride Capital Partners. This funding is earmarked to support the company’s planned product developments and its international go-to-market strategy.
Proprietary Cloud Infrastructure and Artificial Intelligence
Link11 is redefining DDoS attack protection by leveraging its proprietary, artificial intelligence-based technology. The company’s patented DDoS filter secures all traffic within the Link11 cloud, offering faster and more efficient protection compared to conventional solutions. Users benefit from full control over scaling, intelligent real-time traffic analysis, and continuous learning from attacks.
Unlike competitors that rely on third-party infrastructures such as AWS or Google, Link11 operates its own cloud infrastructure. This autonomy enables real-time protection mechanisms without the delays that can be critical during a DDoS attack. As one of Europe’s leading IT security providers, Link11 offers platform-independent protection, even in multi-cloud environments.
Technological Independence as a Security Factor
Designed for workloads in any cloud environment, Link11’s network is tailored to meet modern cybersecurity requirements and sovereignty. It enhances security at the network edge, accelerates global content delivery, and ensures resilience and data sovereignty.
Jens-Philipp Jung, founder and CEO of Link11, emphasized the importance of technological independence:
Cybersecurity today means resilience against threats and outages. European companies that set global standards in data protection should also insist on independence when it comes to their cyber resilience. Especially in times of geopolitical uncertainty, sovereign, powerful, and trustworthy IT solutions are needed. With Link11, we are demonstrating what European cutting-edge technology can achieve: maximum resilience, top performance, and uncompromising compliance – independently and confidently.
European Companies Encouraged to Choose EU-Based DDoS Protection
Recent surveys of cybersecurity managers indicate a growing preference for independent and trustworthy security solutions from Europe. Link11 has been successfully providing its services to various sectors, including financial institutions, media companies, retail and logistics firms, and the public sector. With a strong brand and a multi-layered security approach, Link11 assists its customers in reducing the risk of cyber threats and ensuring business continuity.
