# Cloudflare Magic Transit

Secure your network and improve performance at Cloudflare scale.

 Enterprise-only 

Magic Transit is a network security and performance solution that offers Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, traffic acceleration, and more for on-premises, cloud-hosted, and hybrid networks.

* **DDoS mitigation and protection**: Instead of relying on local infrastructure that large DDoS attacks can overwhelm, Magic Transit uses the [global Cloudflare Network ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/network/) to ingest and mitigate attacks close to their source.
* **Traffic acceleration**: Magic Transit takes advantage of the Cloudflare global network to reduce latency and ensure that requests always have a data center nearby.
