Securing DDoS protection services

Each cloud provider has its own implementation of a managed DDoS protection service. Because cloud providers have very large bandwidth, they can offer (as a paid service) mechanisms to protect customers’ environments from DDoS attacks.

These services can help mitigate DDoS attacks:

  • DDoS protection services

  • Auto-scaling groups combined with load-balancing services

  • CDN services

  • WAF services
