Benefits

Smarter, automatic mitigation

Gain a dynamic, proactive, and automatic solution that detects, evaluates, and immediately reacts to DDoS attacks without any manual intervention so you can keep your website and mobile apps performant and available.

Enhance resiliency

Ensure performance and availability of your apps and APIs so your organization can maintain revenue generation and limit outage-related brand reputation impacts.

Zero Attack Fees

We align our pricing to the value you get, billing based on legitimate traffic that your business wants, never for the attack spikes we mitigate that you don’t.

Reduce Cloud Spend

Stop attacks from hitting your origin and inflating operational costs while creating reduced, more consistent cloud spend overall.

Features

Every app and API needs DDoS protection

From startups launching their first mobile app to the world’s largest e-commerce sites, every application and API on the internet is susceptible to DDoS attacks slowing their service, inflating cloud expenses, or, worse, taking them offline. With Fastly DDoS Protection, anyone can flip a switch and gain immediate protection.

Scalable network

Building on our powerful, global network offering 350+ Tbps capacity as of June 30, 2024, we automatically absorb massive network layer attacks while dropping any irrelevant non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic. With the power of Fastly’s platform, we dynamically and proactively process, analyze, diagnose, and respond to DDoS attacks of all sizes so your team can uphold scalability, stability, and reliability – all with one click of a button.

Automatic mitigation

Enable Fastly DDoS Protection with the flip of a switch to automatically block application DDoS attacks – from everyday nuisances through never-before-seen traffic spikes – to ensure they don’t disrupt your business. When unexpected volumetric traffic events arise, Fastly’s proprietary Attribute Unmasking techniques validate their legitimacy and if malicious, begin scanning a comprehensive list of characteristics to find the attacker and confidently mitigate their attacks, even if they rotate IPs.

Versatile protection

No matter your architecture, you can deploy Fastly’s DDoS Protection to gain speedy, scalable defenses without tuning, even as you ship changes on-demand. Offered as a standalone solution, it mitigates application DDoS attacks before they turn into incidents, without forcing engineering teams to become security experts or purchase confusing bundles. Start with dynamic, proactive protection at the click of a button, then integrate with the rest of our edge cloud platform when you’re ready.
