DDoS Protection
What is DDoS Protection?
DDoS protection is a security solution that detects and defends against denial-of-service threats.
DDoS protection limits the impact of the attack by preventing malicious traffic from reaching its target while yet allowing regular traffic to pass to conduct business as usual.

What is a DDoS attack ?
Distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are sophisticated attacks designed to flood the network with superfluous traffic. A DDoS attack results in either degraded network performance or an outright service outage of critical infrastructure.
From a high level, a DDoS attack is like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DoS and DDoS attacks?
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack floods a server with traffic, making a website or resource unavailable. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a DoS attack that uses multiple computers or machines to flood a targeted resource.
Does unplugging your router stop a DDoS?
No, it won’t stop the DDoS. The DDoS will continue on the host it is targeted at currently. Back to the target in a moment.
Does changing IP stop DDoS?
When a full-scale DDoS attack is underway, then changing the server IP and DNS name can stop the attack in its tracks.
