Protection Against High-Volume DDoS Attacks

April 28th, 2018

 

Businesses and Internet users alike are faced with a growing number of DDoS attacks. Such security incidents are especially feared since the scope of individual attacks cannot be anticipated. Websites or services being unavailable due to delayed data delivery (or more frequently) timeouts, can result in significant revenue losses. Therefore, it is highly advisable to protect yourself against DDoS attacks.

 

 

The KEKhost / KEKhosting DDoS Mitigation Service offers this kind of protection. It helps to defuse DDoS attacks, ideally ensuring the continued operation of affected services or websites, while in any case reducing disruptions to a minimum.

 

What is a DDoS Attack?

 

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attack in which multiple compromised computer systems attack a target, such as a server, website or other network resource, and cause a denial of service for users of the targeted resource. The flood of incoming messages, connection requests or malformed packets to the target system forces it to slow down or even crash and shut down, thereby denying service to legitimate users or systems.

 

DDoS Mitigation Service Basic & Pro

 

KEKhost / KEKhosting offers two DDoS Mitigation options, Basic and Pro. Both work proactively – the attack is immediately detected and fought off. Both versions are independent of domain and port. The mitigation hardware in our own data center ensures additional in-house protection. The advantage: Content and DNS settings don't need to be changed in case of an attack.

Protection against high-volume DDoS attacks

 

According to researches of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), DDoS attacks count as one of the most spotted security incidents on the Internet. Such imponderable attacks can lead to high revenue losses.

 

Don't let it get that far! Use the KEKhost / KEKhosting DDoS Mitigation Service – available as BASIC or PRO version – to defuse DDoS attacks and reduce disruptions to a minimum. The service detects DDoS attacks immediately and instantly fights them off – highly efficient up to an attack volume of over 1.000 Gbit/s (PRO version).
