Launching DDoS attacks has never been easier. The technical barrier has mostly been removed due to the commoditization of DDoS tools and the emergence of DDoS-as-a-Service tools which enable sophisticated multi-vector attacks on both the network and application layer. The attacks can adapt quickly and require an immediate response. When an attack grows volumetric, no matter what on-premise equipment exists, a diversion to cloud scrubbing is required in order to absorb and mitigate the attack. Cloud DDoS Protection Services provide enterprise-grade DDoS protection in the cloud and delivers the most accurate detection and shortest time to protection from today’s most dynamic and constantly evolving DDoS threats, including SSL-based attacks.
