VIRTUAL MACHINE
DDoS protection is crucial for ensuring the availability and accessibility of critical online services. Digital Metalla’s DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection service is designed to defend a company or online system from attacks that aim to overload the resources of a website or online application, making them inaccessible to legitimate users. This occurs by flooding the target with a high volume of traffic requests, often from a distributed network of compromised computers or bots.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITIES
Early detection
Utilizes advanced techniques to detect early signs of a DDoS attack through network traffic monitoring, behavior pattern analysis, and anomaly identification.
Traffic filtering
Isolates and manages DDoS traffic with rule-based filters, ensuring that only legitimate traffic reaches the target system.
Cloud-based mitigation
Operates through globally distributed clouds, managing large volumes of malicious traffic away from the user’s infrastructure, reducing the impact on accessibility.
Additional bandwidth
During a DDoS attack, excess traffic management can be facilitated through additional bandwidth capacity, preventing system overload.
Behavioral analysis
Monitors traffic behavior to identify anomalous patterns associated with DDoS attacks. Utilizes either machine learning-based or predefined rule-based approaches.
Layer 7 protection
Provides application-specific (Layer 7) defenses to protect against attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications.
Load balancing
Distributes traffic among multiple servers to ensure that no server is overwhelmed during a DDoS attack, improving system resilience.
Incident response service
Offers active support during a DDoS attack, with specialized personnel capable of taking measures to mitigate the attack and restore normal operations.
Stress testing
Conducts proactive stress tests to assess a system’s resilience to DDoS attacks and identify any weaknesses.
