Overview
Secure your network and applications against L3-L7 attacks with Distributed Cloud DDoS Mitigation, a cloud-delivered mitigation service that detects and mitigates large-scale network, SSL, and application-targeted attacks in real time—defending your business from attacks that can exceed hundreds of gigabits per second.
Challenges
DDoS attacks remain the leading cause of app downtime. In the first quarter of 2021, researchers recorded nearly 3 million DDoS attacks, a 31% increase from the same period in 2020.1
Increasingly sophisticated attacks
Distributed and volumetric attacks cannot be handled by outdated on-premises security appliances.
New DDoS tactics outwit older tools
Low and slow-ramping application-layer attacks cannot be mitigated by legacy DDoS appliances.
Multiple security solutions cost time and money
Managing multiple on-premises devices and service providers is complex and expensive.
Slow response to fast moving attacks
Long lead times and contractual issues slow delivery of on-demand capacity expansion.
Why Distributed Cloud DDoS Mitigation?
Keep your business online during a DDoS attack—stop attacks before they impact your network and applications with real-time detection and attack mitigation in the cloud.
Reduce the time spent manually responding to attacks with a cloud-based DDoS mitigation solution that is backed by F5 security experts.
Centralized console that provides transparent attack mitigation visibility and reporting before, during, and after an attack for increased situational awareness.
Mitigation at the edge reduces unwanted/malicious traffic, strain on critical infrastructure, and bandwidth consumption/infrastructure costs.
How It Works
Provide controls to defeat targeted network- and application-layer attacks
Distributed Cloud DDoS Mitigation provides real-time, cloud-delivered mitigation and protects against volumetric and application-specific attacks. Backed by the F5 Global Network and F5 Security Operations Center (SOC) to withstand multi-terabit attacks and meet service SLAs with rapid response times.
Attack mitigation with multi-terabit ingest capacity—scrubs network level and signature-based attacks (TCP, SYN, teardrop, smurf, etc.)
Mitigate application attacks by preventing bad actors from consuming critical resources that degrade app performance with HTTP floods, slowloris attacks, etc.
Deploy and manage certain elements on your own, or use our managed service for deployment, maintenance, and 24x7 support by certified F5 experts in our SOC, offering 99.99% uptime SLAs.
Transparent attack mitigation visibility and reporting before, during, and after an attack via a centralized console.
Broad Platform and Cloud Provider Support
Distributed Cloud Services can be delivered to apps running on any platform, on any public/private cloud. Connect and secure apps running in VMs, containers, bare metal, or serverless.
Service Discovery and Service Mesh Integrations
Supports multiple service discovery protocols simultaneously: Consul, Kubernetes, and DNS work out of the box. Istio or Linkerd service mesh can integrate with a Distributed Cloud Services ingress/egress gateway.
Automation, Alerting, and SIEM Integration
F5’s native Terraform provider, vesctl CLI tool, and public APIs deliver to the automation needs of app teams. Support for tools like Opsgenie or Slack for alerting and Splunk or Datadog for SIEM simplifies life of DevOps and SecOps teams.
Ways to Deploy
Customers have a choice between two service options: Always Available, or Always On, DDoS Mitigation
Primary protection available on demand.
The Always Available subscription is pre-configured for your systems, runs on standby, and can be initiated when under attack.
Primary protection as the first line of defense.
The Always On subscription is configured to continuously route and process your traffic on the F5 Distributed Cloud platform, allowing only legitimate traffic to reach your apps.
