Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection

Quickly and accurately identify attacks to reduce risks, avoid costly damages and protect assets.

Maintaining a web presence and using web applications inside your organization makes you a target for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Downtime means business-critical assets are unavailable, leading to revenue loss and, more importantly, loss of customer confidence. These disruptions can be disastrous to organizations that rely on websites to conduct business.

High-profile DDoS attacks underscore the need for network availability and layered defenses. Today’s hackers have evolved from executing high-bandwidth and volumetric attacks, which focus on the network layer, to more sophisticated, less visible application-layer attacks. And at times, they might execute both —causing major havoc. With access to powerful new tools and techniques, hackers have more capabilities, are better organized and are highly motivated. The tremendous growth of DDoS attacks means your organization must defend itself against large-scale assaults across multiple layers.
