Let’s Talk About Comprehensive DDoS Security for Your Business

Don’t take chances with your website, servers, or network resources. With our DDoS protection tools at your disposal, you can minimize risk at a price that makes sense.

DDoS Protection for Every Imaginable Attack Type

We proxy all incoming traffic through our filtering system to block malicious requests and mitigate DDoS attacks. While no solution can guarantee 100% protection, our configurations and advanced attack detection and mitigation significantly reduce the risk of service disruption.

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of cyberattack that involves attackers flooding the target server or resource with traffic — overwhelming it and making it inaccessible to users. The term "distributed" refers to the use of a botnet (a network of computers infected with malware)to coordinate the attack.

We use various DDoS security tools to prevent the damage caused by attacks on websites, online services, and network resources. We’ll assess your infrastructure and risk profile before creating a custom solution that involves one or more of the following strategies:

  • Traffic monitoring
  • Attack identification
  • Traffic filtering
  • Using a CDN (Content Delivery Network)
  • Traffic encapsulation
  • Distributed cloud-based DDoS protection services, Adaptive Rate Limiting, Machine Learning, and AI

 

DDoS protection is a continuous process that adapts to evolving attack types. We’ll work tirelessly on your behalf to minimize interruptions and protect your data and IT resources. 

Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 refer to levels in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, a standard for understanding communication between different computer systems.

1. Layer 3 (Network Layer)

This layer handles routing and data transmission between network devices.

Protocols: IP (Internet Protocol), ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol).

2. Layer 4 (Transport Layer)

Responsible for managing connections between systems, including flow control, sessions, and error control.

Examples: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

3. Layer 7 (Application Layer)

The highest layer that provides interfaces for applications and services.

Protocols: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

These terms describe the levels at which DDoS attacks can occur—Layer 3 (e.g., SYN/ACK attacks), Layer 4 (e.g., TCP or UDP floods), and Layer 7 (e.g., HTTP floods). Understanding these layers is crucial when choosing appropriate protection methods against various attack types.



FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

There are three tiers, each building on the last. Basic covers round-the-clock traffic monitoring plus Layer 3 & 4 filtering — a solid starting point for a smaller project with steady, predictable traffic. Advanced adds traffic encapsulation and adaptive rate limiting for businesses whose traffic has grown past "predictable." Professional adds cloud-based mitigation, machine-learning-driven detection, and direct access to our security team — built for large platforms where downtime simply isn't an option.

There's no fixed price list because the right level of protection — and its cost — depends on factors that are different for every project: your average and peak traffic volume, the size and type of infrastructure you're protecting, which attack layers you're most exposed to, and how much continuous monitoring or expert support you need on top of the base filtering. This is the same approach most established managed DDoS providers take, since a flat, one-size-fits-all price would either overcharge smaller projects or undersell the protection larger ones actually need. Get in touch and tell us a bit about your traffic and setup, and we'll come back with a package and a price that actually fits.

Our filtering isn't tuned for one flavor of attack — it spans the OSI stack. That means volumetric floods (UDP, SYN, DNS and NTP amplification), connection-exhaustion techniques (TCP ACK/RST floods, SSL negotiation abuse, SlowLoris), and application-layer assaults such as HTTP(S) GET/POST floods or repeated DNS queries designed to choke your resolver. New attack patterns emerge constantly, so this list is a snapshot of what we defend against, not a ceiling.

Picture thousands of requests arriving at your server at once, all sent by machines an attacker has quietly taken control of (a botnet). None of them are real visitors — they exist purely to exhaust your server's capacity until genuine users can no longer get through. The "distributed" part of the name simply describes where the traffic comes from: not one source, but a coordinated flood from many, which is what makes these attacks so hard to block with a simple IP ban.

Rather than reacting once traffic hits your server, we route it through our own filtering layer first, so malicious requests are identified and stripped out before they ever reach your infrastructure. Which specific defenses get applied — traffic scrubbing, CDN routing, rate limiting, encapsulation, or machine-learning pattern detection on the higher tiers — depends on the risk profile we build for your setup. Because attackers constantly change tactics, this isn't a set-and-forget configuration; we keep tuning it as new attack patterns appear.

These numbers come from the OSI model, which describes the different layers computers use to talk to each other. Layer 3 is where raw packets get routed from one point to another (IP, ICMP). Layer 4 is where connections themselves are managed — the handshake and flow of data between two systems (TCP, UDP). Layer 7 is the top layer, where the actual application lives and where a browser talks to a web server (HTTP, SMTP). An attacker can target any of these — flooding raw packets at Layer 3/4, or hammering your application with fake page requests at Layer 7 — so real protection has to watch all three, not just the easiest one to filter.

It's built to fit either. A smaller site with modest, steady traffic is well covered by the Basic tier alone. As your traffic grows, or if downtime would cost you real money or reputation, moving up to Advanced or Professional makes more sense. There's no minimum size to get started — the right tier is simply the one that matches your actual risk.

Honestly, no — and any provider claiming otherwise isn't being straight with you. What we can promise is that our filtering, monitoring, and detection are built to catch the overwhelming majority of attack traffic and keep it away from your server, and that our team is watching and ready to respond if something unusual does slip through.
