The challenge
Your organization faces a constant barrage of potential DDoS attacks, which can cripple your online services, damage your reputation, and lead to significant financial losses. The increasing sophistication and scale of these attacks, coupled with the ease of renting botnets, makes it imperative to have a robust DDoS protection strategy. Without adequate protection, your business is vulnerable to prolonged downtime, customer attrition, and regulatory penalties.

The solution
DDoS protection addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
Anycast-based global scrubbing
A globally distributed network of scrubbing centers absorbs terabit-scale attacks near the source, preventing single points of failure and ensuring service availability.
Always-on cloud mitigation
Continuous traffic monitoring and filtering minimizes diversion delays and provides sub-second mitigation of burst attacks, keeping your services online.
Behavioral anomaly detection
Machine learning algorithms establish traffic baselines and identify attacks based on intent and behavior, rather than relying solely on known signatures.
Surgical mitigation via BGP flowspec
Granular filtering rules are propagated across the network in seconds, blocking malicious traffic without impacting legitimate users.
Layer 7/API-specific defense
Deep packet inspection at the application layer protects specific API endpoints from low-and-slow resource exhaustion attacks.
AI-powered WAF rule optimization
AI automatically generates and deploys new WAF rules during an attack, increasing threat response precision and decreasing latency.

How to evaluate DDoS protection
1
Network capacity
Ensure the vendor possesses sufficient network capacity to absorb large-scale attacks without experiencing internal congestion or impacting other customers.
2
Time to mitigation (TTM)
Prioritize vendors with SLA-backed TTM guarantees, especially for sub-minute burst attacks that require real-time automation.
3
Behavioral analysis
Evaluate the sophistication of the vendor's behavioral analytics and their ability to protect entire network prefixes rather than just individual endpoints.
4
Pricing model
Understand the vendor's pricing structure and ensure it provides flat-rate protection against overage charges during volumetric events.
Questions to ask suppliers
Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.
DDoS protection RFP guide- How does your pricing model handle volumetric query floods that target DNS services?
- What level of visibility and reporting do you provide during and after an attack?
- Can you provide a documented SLA for Time to Mitigation (TTM) across all layers?
- How does your solution integrate with existing SIEM/SOAR platforms?
