DDoS Protection

Features

LayerStack’s 20Gbps DDoS Attack Protection diverts volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks – a type of malicious attempt that overwhelms a server or online service – and protects your cloud server.

DDoS Attack Protection automatically redirects DDoS attack traffic to our scrubbing center and allows only clean traffic to enter your server, mitigating the business-impairing attack and preventing service outage or the loss of crucial business data.

DDoS Attack Protection will be activated automatically during attacks without any effort on your end. Simply click the button and get protected.
