DDoS Protection
What problem does it target?
DDoS Protection solutions address the risk of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which can overwhelm online services, disrupt business operations, and cause reputational and financial damage.
What does this solution do?
DDoS Protection platforms:
- Detect and mitigate volumetric, protocol, and application-layer DDoS attacks
- Automatically filter malicious traffic while allowing legitimate users
- Provide real-time monitoring, alerting, and reporting
- Offer on-demand or always-on protection
Who is this for?
- Organizations with public-facing web services or applications
- Enterprises at risk of targeted attacks
- Service providers and e-commerce platforms
Who might not benefit from this?
- Internal-only applications with no internet exposure
- Small businesses with minimal online presence
Pitfalls and remedies
| Pitfall | Remedy |
|---|---|
| False positives blocking legitimate traffic | Fine-tune detection and filtering rules |
| Insufficient capacity for large attacks | Use scalable, cloud-based solutions |
| Delayed response to attacks | Enable automated mitigation and 24/7 monitoring |
