Overview

FortiDDoS is an inline, purpose-built solution that protects organizations against disruptions caused by attacks that flood a target with packets and exhaust resources, causing the network, applications, or services to be unavailable to legitimate traffic. Without user intervention, FortiDDoS automatically detects and stops multiple simultaneous attacks of any size before services fail. 

Features and Benefits

FortiDDoS offers advanced performance, reliability, and analysis capabilities with full autonomous mitigation to protect against disruptions.

FULLY AUTONOMOUS MITIGATION

During attacks, no user intervention is required. Also, no additional subscriptions are required

EXPANSIVE MONITORING

230,000 parameters are simultaneously monitored to stop zero-day attacks

100% PACKET INSPECTION

All mitigations take place in less than one second. No sampling

HIGH SMALL-PACKET INSPECTION

77 Mpps small-packet inspection ensures detection and network performance

ADVANCED LAYERS 4 AND 7 MITIGATION

TCP flag, DNS, NTP, DTLS, QUIC direct/reflected attacks are mitigated from the first packet

UNMATCHED UDP REFLECTION MITIGATION

More than 10,000 possible UDP Reflection ports are monitored
