Arelion Unveils SecureConnect DDoS Mitigation Solutions to Counter AI Security Threats

Arelion's New DDoS Mitigation Solutions

In response to the growing cybersecurity threats posed by artificial intelligence, Arelion has unveiled its innovative SecureConnect solutions aimed at enterprise and wholesale customers. This move comes amid an alarming rise in AI-enabled network attacks, particularly targeting critical sectors like automotive, manufacturing, and financial services.

On October 16, 2025, Arelion rolled out its SecureConnect Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and SecureConnect Transit solutions. Designed to enhance end-user security seamlessly, these solutions provide automated DDoS mitigation, integrating effortlessly with Arelion's existing global connectivity services like IP Transit and DIA. This integration allows customers to enhance their defenses against an increasingly hostile digital landscape without adding significant complexity to their operations.

Enhanced Security from the Ground Up

The core functionality of SecureConnect revolves around its ability to automatically identify common DDoS attack patterns, especially volumetric threats. Utilizing the Flowspec protocol, SecureConnect can efficiently thwart these attacks at the network edge, providing a more sophisticated defense compared to traditional methods such as blackholing. This sophisticated mitigation strategy not only offers enhanced protection but also helps companies align with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification requirements with minimal investment.

By leveraging Flowspec defenses at the edge, coupled with global scrubbing centers positioned across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, Arelion is better equipped to shield its clients from the ever-evolving weaponized internet. As companies strive for operational resilience, SecureConnect emerges as a vital solution that emboldens businesses with the confidence they need to engage in global connectivity.

Addressing the Rise of AI-Driven Attacks

Recent data has highlighted a significant escalation in the prevalence and severity of DDoS attacks. Analysis from Arelion indicates that the average size of volumetric attacks surged by nearly 97 percent from 2023 to 2024. This reflects attackers' increasing capability to exploit the rising bandwidth availability. Furthermore, over half of the leaders in the automotive and manufacturing sectors identified cybersecurity as their foremost network challenge, attributing this to the relentless cycle of offensive and defensive strategies amplified by AI technologies.

Johan Ottosson, VP of Strategy and Product Management at Arelion, emphasized the need for advanced defenses in this evolving battleground. He stated, "As AI reshapes the DDoS landscape, our commitment remains to keep our customers connected and protected while minimizing implementation complexities. SecureConnect empowers companies to withstand the barrage of today’s opportunistic attacks prevalent in the connectivity ecosystem."
