Service Overview

DDoS Protection is a service that detects and defends against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, which generate large volumes of traffic to cause service disruptions. Continuous monitoring detects and blocks external traffic attacks, protecting the servers within the Samsung Cloud Platform. When a DDoS attack occurs, blocking the attack traffic minimizes the traffic load entering the internal servers of the Samsung Cloud Platform, ensuring the continuity of web services.

Features

• Rapid Attack Detection: When a large volume of traffic arrives, it detects DDoS attacks in real time. Continuously updating DDoS defense items enables effective response to the latest attack techniques.
• Effective Attack Defense: When a DDoS attack occurs, we detect it in real time and block malicious traffic to ensure service availability, supporting regular users to access the website normally.
• Stable web service operation: Provide 24/7 security monitoring services, and based on extensive network operation experience, effectively respond to external security threats, delivering alerts with attack information when incidents occur. Additionally, monthly reports are provided to review event details.
