Ensure your network is safeguarded against DDoS threats at both the network and application layers with a solution that offers flexibility and scalability suitable for inline, out-of-band, and hybrid configurations. Conventional DDoS mitigation strategies tend to address only a limited array of attack vectors, which leads to several shortcomings: methods like black-holing or rate-limiting often hinder legitimate users during network layer (or flood) attacks. Additionally, these solutions fail to recognize SSL traffic and are susceptible to their positioning within the network during application layer onslaughts. On-premises protective measures become ineffective when WAN bandwidth saturation disrupts Internet access. Thankfully, the F5 BIG-IP DDoS Hybrid Defender delivers a more robust defense mechanism. It stands out as the sole multi-layered protection that effectively counters combined network and sophisticated application attacks while offering complete SSL decryption, anti-bot functionalities, and advanced detection techniques, all integrated into a single appliance. This comprehensive approach ensures not only enhanced security but also seamless user experiences even amidst evolving threat landscapes.
