DDoS Protection That Stays
Calm Under Fire
Watch our multi-layered defense system detect, analyze, and mitigate an attack in real-time. Every packet visualized. Every metric tracked.
Protection State
Layered Protection, Zero Compromise
Five defense layers work in concert. Each layer handles specific threat categories while the others provide redundancy.
Edge Protection
CDN + Anycast + Caching
- +Anycast routing distributes traffic across global PoPs
- +CDN caching absorbs volumetric surges at the edge
- +GeoIP filtering and reputation-based blocking
Volumetric floods (UDP, ICMP, amplification)
Adds 1-5ms latency; static content only at edge
L3/L4 Mitigation
Network-layer scrubbing
- +Protocol validation drops malformed packets
- +SYN cookie protection against TCP floods
- +Flowspec rules auto-propagate to upstream routers
SYN floods, UDP reflection, protocol abuse
Minimal latency impact; requires provider capacity
L7 Application Firewall
WAF + Rate Limiting + Bot Management
- +Managed WAF rules for OWASP Top 10
- +Rate limiting per IP, endpoint, and API key
- +JS challenges and behavioral bot scoring
HTTP floods, slowloris, credential stuffing, scraping
May add 5-20ms; requires tuning to avoid false positives
Origin Hardening
Autoscaling + Queues + Circuit Breakers
- +Connection limits and request body size caps
- +Timeout tuning (connect, read, idle)
- +Autoscaling with queue-based back-pressure
Resource exhaustion, slow-read attacks, origin overload
May reject legitimate large uploads; requires capacity planning
Observability
Metrics + Logs + Anomaly Detection
- +RPS, 4xx/5xx, p99 latency dashboards
- +Anomaly detection on traffic baselines
- +Distributed tracing through mitigation layers
Blind spots: detects unknown attack patterns early
Storage/compute cost; alert fatigue if thresholds are too sensitive
Know Your Adversary
Volumetric
Overwhelms bandwidth with high-volume traffic floods
- Sudden bandwidth spike
- Packet rate anomaly
- GeoIP distribution shift
Protocol
Exploits protocol weaknesses to exhaust connection state
- SYN queue saturation
- Fragmented packet ratio
- Connection table growth
Application
Targets application logic with seemingly legitimate requests
- Request rate per endpoint spike
- Bot score distribution
- Response time degradation
