What is "DDoS Attack"

DDoS attacks, or distributed denial-of-service attacks, are attempts to make sites, servers, or network resources unavailable to users by flooding them with unwanted traffic from multiple systems. These attacks are mainly used to wreak havoc and prevent you from providing services to your intended users. DDoS attacks are becoming more and more common and can cause serious downtime to your websites, services, and branding, thus causing potential loss of sales. The cost of such downtime can vary widely between different companies. If you're a business that cannot afford downtime or has suffered DDoS attacks in the past. Today’s many types of attacks fall into two main categories:

Volumetric AttackSaturates and consumes network bandwidth and infrastructure. Examples: ICMP, UDP or TCP Syn Floods.

App Layer AttackHarder to detect than Volumetric Attacks as it targets specific applications of services where they exhaust resources. Examples : HTTP or DNS attacks.

However, we can provide you with very strong protection against any type of these attacks with our DDoS mitigation Proxy e Tunnel Solutions

How LeaseDedi DDoS Protection Works

We use Fortinet and Cisco Hardware firewalls as first line of defense which eliminates most of the bad traffic instead of null routing IPs. We are always vigilant in updating these firewalls to mitigate or defend your site from new types or shifted attacks where needed. This includes TCP and UDP. The next level we have sandboxed each client's solution so that in worst case scenario, any huge onslaught of DDoS attack will not affect other clients on our system. Finally we have custom configured web servers that provide application filtering and direct clean data back to your originating server thus masking your real IP. We have spent a great deal of time building out and testing out this DDoS solution thoroughly, and we are proud to say it works extremely well. You as a customer will appreciate the simplicity of this set up process. There is no need to change hosting companies. All you need to do is point your DNS A record to our DDoS protected network, provide us with your originating server IP to direct clean traffic and you're set. Another option is to utilize our DNS server, where we will accommodate you with our nameservers. All you have to do is provide us with your current DNS zone so that we can use it to build your DNS zone. After one of the above options has been completed, we will then absorb all malicious DDoS attack traffic through our well designed network and provide your server/site with only clean traffic.
