Cloud-based DDoS protection

Imperva announced Cloud DDoS Protection, a secure cloud-based service that safeguards businesses from DDoS attacks.

By subscribing to this service, organizations can protect against the downtime and brand damage, and potential lost revenue caused by DDoS attacks.

Key capabilities include:

Fast, comprehensive DDoS protection: The Imperva Cloud DDoS Protection service provides a defense against all types of DDoS threats, including network-based attacks, like SYN or UDP floods, and application attacks that attempt to overwhelm server resources. The service scales on-demand to stop multi-gigabit denial of service attacks.

Centralized Attack Analysis: The Imperva Security Operations Center (SOC) granularly tunes policies using collective knowledge about DDoS threats, including new and emerging attack methods and known malicious users. When under an attack, the Imperva SOC vigilantly monitors application performance in order to keep protected websites accessible.

Affordable, easy-to-deploy DDoS protection: As a managed service, Imperva Cloud DDoS Protection avoids expensive hardware and overhead costs for customers who want to ensure maximum application uptime. Customers can provision the service simply by changing their website’s DNS setting.
