Cloud-Based DDoS Protection Services

Cloud-Based DDoS Protection Services

Cloud-based DDoS protection services offer scalable defense against large attacks. These services position massive networks between attackers and your infrastructure, absorbing and filtering attack traffic. Leading providers like Cloudflare, Akamai, and AWS Shield offer various protection levels.

Always-on protection provides continuous traffic filtering without performance impact. Traffic routes through the protection service continuously, enabling instant attack mitigation. This approach eliminates the delay associated with attack detection and mitigation activation. Configure always-on protection for critical services that cannot tolerate any downtime.

On-demand protection activates during attacks to scrub malicious traffic. This approach minimizes costs for services that can tolerate brief impacts during attack detection. Implement automatic activation triggers based on traffic thresholds or manual activation procedures. Ensure rapid activation capabilities to minimize attack impact.

Hybrid protection combines on-premises and cloud-based defenses. Use local appliances for immediate response to common attacks while leveraging cloud services for volumetric attack mitigation. This approach provides defense-in-depth while optimizing costs. Configure seamless failover between protection layers.
