All about DigitalOcean DDoS Protection

At DigitalOcean, product and platform security is a top priority so startups and small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can build and scale their digital business on our platform with peace of mind. 

Our distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection service is a crucial part of our security strategy. DigitalOcean DDoS Protection safeguards your resources from generalized, network-level DDoS attacks—for free—without the need for manual intervention. Operating at our data center edge and not having to route traffic to a third party makes mitigation of DDoS attacks fast and seamless.

DDoS protection covers your DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure—including Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, Managed Databases, Load Balancers, and assigned Reserved IPs—across all of our data centers. 

Here are some of the key features of DigitalOcean DDoS Protection:

• Native, network-level protection: DDoS Protection monitors network layers 3 and 4 and is built into our cloud.
• Automated and intelligent threat mitigation: Common, generalized DDoS attacks are blocked automatically via rules that adapt to attack types, while still allowing legitimate data traffic to pass through.
• Protection from many types of DDoS attacks: Volumetric attacks such as UDP floods, ICMP floods, TCP floods, and DNS reflection attacks are covered, plus protocol-layer attacks such as SYN floods, BGP attacks, and ping-of-death attacks.

If you have any questions specific to your use case, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team, or refer to our comprehensive product documentation for the full details on DigitalOcean DDoS Protection.
