DDoS Protection Importance

DDoS Protection Has Never Been More Important

Cyber attacks have become a way of life for organizations worldwide. 98% of organizations globally have reported experiencing a cyber attack, according to research. Hard to defend against and potentially extremely costly, DDoS attacks can result in network and website outages, compromised data, and lost revenue for organizations.

DDoS attacks have become a commodity. Thanks to the availability of DDoS-as-a-Service tools on the Darknet, the increased vulnerability of IoT devices and the resulting rise of botnets, and financially-motivated hackers launching ransomware campaigns, DDoS assaults have never been as common, powerful or profitable. Therefore, DDoS protection & mitigation solutions have never been more important.

Preparing for DDoS attacks

DDoS attacks have changed tremendously over the past few years. Preparing for a common DDoS attack is no longer enough. With the growing online availability of attack tools and services, the pool of possible attacks is larger than ever before.

DDoS attack mitigation solutions work by deflecting DDoS traffic in one of the outer layers – the network layer. This helps to absorb any potential application layer DDoS traffic at the network edge. The threat can be prevented in the cloud before it reaches the customer origin.

Our DDoS mitigation solution works by applying web protection with an intelligent platform. This platform has more than 27,000 servers in 32 countries and is aided by a Web Application Firewall. This provides additional protection against deeper level application layer attacks in both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

By having a platform which detects attacks at the application layer, enterprises can scale their protection to meet their needs in line with their own business growth. This helps to reduce costs associated with web security without having a negative impact on web performance.

With our DDoS mitigation solution, enterprises can …

  • … reduce downtime and minimize business risk.
  • … deflect and absorb even the largest DDoS attacks.
  • … minimize costs associated with web security.
  • … protect against new and evolving threats.
  • … reduce the risk of data theft.
