DDoS scrubbing can keep your online service or business up and running, even during an attack. Unlike CDN-based mitigation, a DDoS scrubbing service can protect across all ports, protocols, and applications in the data center, including web- and IP-based services.
Organizations direct their network traffic in one of two ways: via a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route advertisement change or DNS redirection (A record or CNAME) to the mitigation providerâ€s scrubbing infrastructure. Traffic is monitored and inspected for malicious activity, and mitigation is applied if DDoS attacks are identified.
