The Anapaya whitepaper on SCION highlights that SCION architecture significantly reduces the attack surface compared to the traditional Internet by enabling secure, private routing of data only through trusted paths. Honeypots deployed on SCION show fewer detected attacks, demonstrating that SCION protects critical services from DDoS and intrusion threats by restricting access exclusively to approved ISPs and users via Anapaya GATE and Anapaya EDGE. By combining these, SCION drastically lowers the risk of cyberattacks on critical services compared to the public Internet, making it especially suitable for sectors requiring the highest security levels, such as finance, healthcare, and infrastructure.
