How Does DDoS Protection Work?

DDoS Protection Services help protect organizations from catastrophic DDoS attacks by detecting and filtering malicious traffic aimed at disrupting or disabling Internet-based services.

Unlike traditional security solutions, DDoS Protection Services filter harmful traffic upstream of the organizational network—or in the cloud.

How Does It Work?

DDoS Protection Services combine the security from our world-class traffic analysis and detection platforms with the flexibility of utilizing the mitigation components only when required. When an event is detected, Verisign will work with you to redirect Internet traffic destined for the protected service to a DDoS Protection Services site. The redirection happens in the cloud to swing attack traffic to the DDoS Protection Services site before it can overwhelm or otherwise harm your network.

As Verisign monitors and analyzes traffic pattern data, the 24/7 security team begins “scrubbing” redirected traffic through the use of world-class mitigation technologies. Malicious traffic is progressively blocked while filtered traffic is sent to your network, to help sustain normal business operations.
