Security

Defence in depth from the first packet to your origin: anycast absorption, a WAF that reads every request, sealed tunnels, and an account model with two-factor sign-in and revocable sessions.

Defence in depth

Security is not a feature you switch on. It is how every part of Skytropic is designed, from the protocol to the sign-in screen.

Encryption

Modern ciphers everywhere, keys you can hold.

  • TLS 1.3 only, HSTS preload
  • AES-256-GCM · ChaCha20-Poly1305
  • Customer-managed keys (BYOK)

Identity

Accounts that resist takeover.

  • TOTP two-factor + recovery codes
  • Server-side, revocable sessions
  • Lockout after repeated failures

DDoS absorption

Floods dissolve across the network.

  • Anycast L3/L4 scrubbing
  • HTTP flood heuristics
  • Mitigation in seconds

Network edge

Only clean traffic moves inward.

  • Geo and ASN policies
  • Origin IP never exposed
  • Private tunnels to origin

Web firewall

Every request read before it costs you.

  • OWASP Core Rule Set
  • Custom expressions
  • Bot challenge & rate limits

Transparency

Trust you can verify.

  • Open crypto architecture
  • EU data residency, GDPR
  • Public bug bounty

Under attack, live

A 1.3 Tbps HTTP flood is absorbed across the anycast network while origin load stays at two percent. A single firewall expression deploys to every PoP in about three seconds.

Then it travels sealed

TLS 1.3 at the edge, WireGuard and mTLS back to your origin, AES-256-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305 everywhere in between. The crypto architecture is open: audit it, pin it, bring your own keys.
