Security > DDoS Guard > Overview

DDoS Guard is a service which protects customer services by detecting or blocking external DDoS attacks in real time.

There are two types of DDoS Guard Service: Basic and Managed.

  • Basic: This is a service provided to all NHN Cloud users for free, which protects the services within the cloud from DDoS attack at the general network level.
  • Managed: This is a customized subscription service which provides enhanced protection features and offers specialized protection service for cloud customers who demand higher availability such as response to DDoS attacks in the manner of precise application, traffic learning, and selection of response method based on service traits and propagation of information about real-time attacks.

DDoS Guard features and benefits

  • Analyze all incoming traffic in real-time to quickly detect and defend against DDoS attacks. Additionally, when overseas-originated DDoS attacks are difficult to defend against, country-based defense is possible under customer consultation.
  • Learn traffic based on customer environment and apply optimized response policies to effectively mitigate and defend against DDoS attacks.
  • Provide DDoS response methods (always-on/automatic) according to the customer service’s features to flexibly operate response systems.
  • The dedicated security monitoring teams can quickly identify DDoS attack situations through 24-hour, 365-day (24 x 365) monitoring and the propagation of situations.
  • Operations for customer security can be enhanced through daily/monthly reports on DDoS attack detection and response.

DDoS Guard key features

Basic service (free)

  • Monitor all traffic incoming to cloud in real time and protect NHN Cloud infrastructure based on common thresholds.
  • Common policies are integrated thresholds applied to various customer services. And it cannot guarantee failure situations, such as availability for customer services, when DDoS attacks occur, so a Managed service (paid) is recommended.

Managed service (paid)

  • Customer-customized DDoS policy management and operations can secure availability and stability of target services and defend against threats in advance.
  • Defend against DDoS attacks through optimized threshold settings and validation based on traffic learning.
  • Always-on/automatic defense policies can be flexibly configured according to characteristics such as customer service environments.
  • The encrypted traffic supports L4 attack mitigation.
  • Rapid response is possible through the propagation of the detailed DDoS attack information.

Report

  • Support effective security threat management by providing daily/monthly reports.
