DataDome has launched distributed denial of service (DDoS) Protect, a cloud-based service aimed at preventing DDoS attacks by filtering out attack traffic at the edge before it can impact an organization’s operations. This new solution is designed to offer comprehensive protection against sophisticated Layer 7 attacks, which pose significant challenges as they mimic legitimate traffic, making detection difficult.

According to DataDome research, bot-driven DDoS attacks represent over 20% of application traffic, and such threats can disrupt essential business functions, leading to financial losses and reputational harm. DDoS Protect promises always-on, full-stack protection that can adapt to the evolving tactics used by attackers.

“Every organization will be targeted with a DDoS attack. The key challenge is maintaining resilience during the attack,” stated Benjamin Fabre, co-founder and CEO of DataDome. He emphasized the importance of having a reliable solution to mitigate the costly impacts of DDoS threats.

Key features of DDoS Protect include:

• Full Stack DDoS Protection: Blocks both network and application-layer attacks, focusing on sophisticated Layer 7 threats that pose significant challenges.
• Seamless Business Continuity: Ensures customer-facing services remain operational during an attack through real-time detection and mitigation.
• Enhanced Visibility and Transparency: Provides real-time analytics on attack traffic, including sources and blocked volume.
• Automated Security: Enables automatic blocking of attacks to maintain security effortlessly.
• Industry-Leading Detection: Leverages an AI-powered detection engine capable of analyzing over 5 trillion signals daily to minimize false positives.
