Compare Imperva DDoS Protection vs. Lumen DDoS Mitigation Services

Imperva's DDoS Protection safeguards all your digital assets at the edge, ensuring seamless operations without interruptions. With this service, you can maintain business continuity thanks to assured uptime. The crucial principle in DDoS defense is that while it takes mere moments to go offline, recovering can take hours; hence, each second is vital during an assault. Imperva provides reassurance by automatically filtering out attack traffic at the edge, eliminating the need for you to increase bandwidth costs. The DDoS Protection service specifically designed for websites is perpetually active, swiftly countering any DDoS attack, regardless of its type or scale, that targets your web applications. This service works in tandem with Imperva's cloud web application firewall (WAF), which effectively blocks attempts at hacking and malicious bot attacks. A simple modification to your DNS records directs all HTTP/S traffic destined for your domain(s) through the Imperva network. Acting as a secure proxy, Imperva’s DDoS protection conceals the IP address of your origin server, providing an additional layer of security against potential threats. By implementing this robust solution, organizations can confidently focus on their core operations without the constant worry of DDoS attacks disrupting their services.

The occurrence of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is on the rise, with 53 percent of organizations indicating they experience over 51 attacks monthly, an increase from 44 percent the previous year. Sectors such as Financial Services, Hosting/E-Commerce, and Government are particularly vulnerable targets. To effectively combat the increasingly advanced DDoS attacks, organizations, regardless of their Internet service provider, need high-capacity scrubbing centers that are regionally distributed, coupled with network controls to minimize latency and ensure optimal performance. To address and mitigate the impact of these traffic flood attacks that seek to incapacitate servers, applications, websites, and networks, the Lumen DDoS Mitigation Service offers a robust cloud-based solution that can absorb harmful traffic through numerous globally positioned scrubbing centers during an attack, directing only legitimate traffic to the customer's public-facing addresses. This capability allows organizations to maintain their online presence and service availability even in the face of relentless cyber threats.
