Introducing Cloudflare Adaptive DDoS Protection - our new traffic profiling system for mitigating DDoS attacks
Sep 19, 2022Omer Yoachimik
Summary
Introduced Adaptive DDoS Protection, a new traffic profiling system that learns unique traffic patterns by analyzing maximal traffic rates over the past seven days using various dimensions (source country, user agent, IP protocol, destination ports). It uses the 95th percentile to discard outliers and integrates with ML-generated Bot Scores to distinguish legitimate traffic spikes from automated attacks. This system is available for Enterprise customers on specific plans and complements existing DDoS defenses.
