DDoS Defense: Attack Mitigation Traffic Insights

We’re excited to announce that the UPX Platform now includes detailed insights into mitigated traffic. This feature provides visibility into how our infrastructure acted during an attack, making it easier to identify patterns, sources, and behaviors behind malicious activity.

Every attack report now includes a Mitigated Traffic widget, showing the balance between clean and blocked traffic. These widgets are tailored to each attack signature and include interactive tables with aggregations such as destination IP, source IP, origin country, protocol, and more.

One of the most powerful features is the ability to drill down by destination IP. Clicking on any IP takes you to the dedicated IP Blockage page, where you’ll find firewall rules, IP profiles, and a timeline of recent attacks that targeted the same address or prefix.

Within that page, you can continue exploring mitigation details with the same widgets and aggregations, recalculated specifically for the chosen IP. This enables fast, focused investigation of attack behavior and response.

With these new insights, customers gain greater transparency into blocked traffic, actionable intelligence to recognize recurring patterns, and faster investigations when analyzing incidents. This release reinforces our mission to deliver not only protection but also clear visibility into how threats are neutralized.

Introducing ASN Weekly Report

We’re excited to introduce Weekly Report, a brand-new area inside ASN Monitor that brings a different perspective on your Autonomous Systems. While features like ASN Live allow you to follow events as they happen in real time, Weekly Report takes a step back and builds a clear, periodic summary of what really changed in your network over time.

You now get a curated view that compares today’s status with the recent past. This makes it easier to answer questions like: Did I lose or gain peers? Which upstreams were added or removed? Were there any hijacks? Has my RPKI coverage improved or declined? Weekly Report organizes these answers into a set of intuitive cards, refreshed daily.

The first card, Highlights, focuses on the three most important variations in the most recent period. If nothing significant happened, the card tells you that your ASN remained stable. But if there were meaningful shifts — a new upstream, a sudden loss of peers, or a critical flapping — the highlights will surface them front and center, so you can focus on what matters.

Two additional cards break down connectivity for IPv4 and IPv6 independently. They track changes in upstreams, downstreams, peers, and prefixes announced, showing when something new appeared, when something was lost, and when instability was detected.

Flapping is captured explicitly, letting you see when relationships are bouncing in and out of visibility. And for any variation, you can click the side arrow to expand and inspect the full list of changes.

Security and trust are just as important as connectivity. That’s why Weekly Report also includes a BGP Security Incidents card, highlighting if any hijacks of your prefixes were detected during the period. A counter shows how many incidents occurred, and when present, a drill-down allows you to review the affected prefixes directly.

Complementing this, the BGP Integrity card brings visibility into IRR coverage and RPKI validation, comparing the number of announced prefixes with those that are validated — a simple but powerful way to assess the robustness of your routing configuration.

Weekly Report isn’t just another dashboard. It’s designed to act as a managerial summary: something you can consult to understand the health and evolution of your ASN at a glance, but also something you can share with customers, upstreams, and partners to discuss stability, performance, and security. In this way, it becomes both a monitoring tool and a communication tool — helping position your ASN as a reliable, trustworthy network in the global routing ecosystem.

And for those who prefer to receive this report directly in their inbox, the Weekly Report can also be delivered by email. Simply adjust the notification settings of the desired ASN, setting the aggregation to weekly. The report will then arrive automatically, ready to be reviewed or shared.

Telegram Notifications

The UPX Platform now supports Telegram as a delivery channel for notifications, alongside existing options like Email, Slack, and ServiceNow. This means you can send alerts directly to your Telegram chats, groups, or channels.

What’s New

  • Multiple delivery channels

    You can configure one or more Telegram channels under Notification Center → Delivery Channels. Each channel is defined by a Chat ID and a Channel Name, and works just like Slack or Email endpoints.

  • Flexible assignments

    Once created, Telegram channels can be selected when editing any notification type in the platform. This lets you decide exactly which alerts should go where:

    • Send all critical alerts to a Telegram group.

    • Keep daily summaries in Email.

    • Route specific product events to Slack.

  • Duplicate configurations

    To make things even easier, notification types can be duplicated. For example:

    • One configuration sends alerts + summaries to Telegram.

    • A duplicate sends only summaries to Email.

How it Works

  1. Create a new delivery channel

    • Go to Notification Center → Delivery Channels → Add/Edit.

    • Select Telegram as the channel type.

    • Enter the Chat ID and Channel Name, then save.

How to obtain your Telegram Chat ID

  • Private chat: Add @UPXPlatform_bot and send any message. The bot will reply with your Chat ID.

  • Group or channel: Add the bot to the group/channel, send a message to receive your Chat ID

  1. Assign the delivery channel to notifications

    • Open the configuration for any notification type.

    • Under Delivery Channels, select one or more endpoints (Slack, Email, Telegram, ServiceNow).

    • Save the configuration.

    • Notifications will now be routed to the selected Telegram chat(s) along with any other chosen channels.
