Compare FortiDDoS vs. FortiDeceptor

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks continuously evolve and utilize various technological methods, necessitating a robust and adaptable security framework for effective defense. To effectively counter these threats, FortiDDoS offers advanced protection against both recognized and zero-day attacks while maintaining impressively low latency. Its deployment and management are user-friendly, equipped with extensive reporting and analytical capabilities. The solution features a security processor (SPU)-based architecture that provides comprehensive protection across layers 3, 4, and 7, along with application-aware traffic management. FortiDDoS can monitor an extensive range of parameters simultaneously, employing behavior-based protection to eliminate reliance on signature files. It defends against all forms of DDoS attacks, including bulk volumetric, layer 7 application, and SSL/HTTPS assaults, while ensuring minimal false positives through ongoing threat assessment. Additionally, it includes specialized tools for protecting DNS services. As a critical element of our Application Security framework, FortiDDoS stands out in its ability to adapt to the constantly changing landscape of cyber threats.

FortiDeceptor enhances the ability to detect and isolate advanced human and automated threats by tricking attackers into exposing their presence. As an integral component of the Fortinet SecOps Platform, it identifies and addresses in-network threats like the misuse of stolen credentials, lateral movement, man-in-the-middle attacks, and ransomware incidents. By incorporating FortiDeceptor into your cybersecurity framework, you transition from a reactive posture to a proactive one, utilizing intrusion-based detection alongside contextual intelligence. The platform draws attackers in during the reconnaissance phase through a variety of deception assets strategically placed throughout your infrastructure. It produces high-fidelity alerts derived from real-time interactions with both attackers and malware, enabling thorough analysis of attack activities and effective isolation measures. This capability notably reduces the workload on Security Operations Center (SOC) teams who often face an overwhelming number of false-positive alerts. Furthermore, FortiDeceptor supports various deployment methods to suit different organizational needs. Its versatility makes it a valuable asset for enhancing overall security strategies.
