Compare Project Shield vs. UltraDDoS Protect

Project Shield, developed by Google Cloud and Jigsaw and utilizing Google Cloud Armor, offers complimentary and limitless defense against DDoS attacks, which are malicious attempts to disrupt access to online information by overwhelming websites. It employs Google's robust infrastructure and advanced DDoS mitigation tools to filter out harmful traffic effectively. When a DDoS attack targets your website, the service ensures that our servers intercept and block the unwanted traffic, allowing your site to remain operational. Additionally, Project Shield can be set up to retrieve content from your website’s servers and serve a cached version to users during future requests, significantly reducing the load on your servers and enhancing resilience against potential DDoS threats. By caching content, the service not only fortifies DDoS defenses but also boosts website performance and conserves bandwidth, which is beneficial for all types of sites. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to invalidate cached content to meet specific site requirements. Enhanced security features within Project Shield include controls like JavaScript cookies and IP denylists to provide a higher level of protection for websites, ensuring a more secure browsing experience for visitors. Ultimately, this combination of features positions Project Shield as a powerful ally for any online presence seeking to maintain accessibility and integrity amidst cyber threats.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assaults pose a relentless and ongoing risk to the functionality and safety of any organization with an online footprint. Research from 2017 indicates that there is an 80 percent likelihood for organizations to experience a DDoS attack, and those targeted can expect to face successive attempts at a similar rate. Furthermore, the repercussions extend beyond the immediate attack: nearly half of the documented incidents are accompanied by additional breaches, which can result in various issues such as virus infections, theft of sensitive data, activation of malware, and increasingly, ransomware threats. Effectively countering the DDoS challenges of both the present and future necessitates a comprehensive approach that transcends mere technological solutions. UltraDDoS Protect equips users with robust analytics, premium DDoS mitigation strategies, and layer 7 defenses, enabling the preemptive neutralization of threats before they escalate into full-blown attacks. Organizations of all sizes trust UltraDDoS Protect to safeguard their systems and ensure their critical data remains secure and accessible at all times. This proactive stance is essential in an era where cyber threats are not just prevalent but evolving rapidly.
