RTBH

Block Type Response Integration

🚧

Prior to creating a RTBH plugin, you will need to configure at least 1 device with a unicast BGP neighbor.

Usage

The Remotely Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) block type response integration enables the quick isolation and nullification of malicious traffic. It operates by directing unwanted traffic into a "black hole," effectively protecting the network from potential threats such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Integrated with Netography's analytics, monitoring, compliance, and reporting tools, RTBH serves as a scalable, cost-effective, and robust solution for maintaining network integrity and security.
