Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks present significant challenges regarding availability and security for customers transitioning their applications to cloud platforms. These attacks aim to overwhelm an application's resources, rendering it inaccessible to genuine users. Any endpoint that is publicly accessible via the internet can be subjected to a DDoS attack. Fortunately, every asset within Azure benefits from Azure's infrastructure DDoS (Basic) Protection at no extra cost. The vast scale and capability of Azure's globally distributed network offer robust defense mechanisms against prevalent network-layer attacks, utilizing continuous traffic monitoring and immediate mitigation strategies. Importantly, DDoS Protection Basic does not necessitate user configuration or alterations to the application. This level of protection extends to all Azure services, including platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings like Azure DNS, ensuring comprehensive security across the board. Moreover, businesses can operate with increased confidence, knowing that their services are safeguarded against these disruptive threats.
