Traditional DDoS solutions focus solely on a narrow range of attacks. Here are some of the reasons they’re only partially effective: By black-holing or rate-limiting, they cripple the connections of legitimate users in network layer (or flood) attacks. They’re blind to SSL traffic and dependent on their placement in the network when application layer attacks hit. On-premises defenses are rendered useless when a WAN bandwidth saturation shuts down Internet connectivity. Fortunately, DDoS Hybrid Defender provides a greater depth of defense. It’s the only multi-layered defense that protects against blended network attacks and sophisticated application attacks, while enabling full SSL decryption, anti-bot capabilities, and advanced detection methods—all in one appliance. It also delivers the highest performance with line-rate capabilities and without impacting legitimate traffic.
