The FortiDDoS family of purpose built appliances provide real-time visibility into the networks in addition to detection and prevention of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

FortiDDoS helps you protect your internet-facing infrastructure from threats and service disruptions by surgically removing network and application-layer DDoS attacks. You can defend your critical on-premise and cloud infrastructure from attacks while relying on FortiDDoS appliances’ sophisticated filtering technologies to allow legitimate traffic to continue to flow. These scalable, high-performance appliances deliver proven DDoS defense, and are completely interoperable with your existing security technologies and network infrastructure.

Features & Benefits

• FortiDDoS provides granular visibility and control of your network. It automatically detects and mitigates attack traffic
• Inline, transparent threat mitigation provides easy to deploy and manage DDoS prevention against targeted attacks, worm outbreaks, DDoS and Botnet attacks, source tracking, and Inbound and Outbound attacks
• Segregation and virtualization of the FortiDDoS appliance allows separate security policies on each segment for multi-tenant environments
• Bandwidth management maintains policies that enable Service Providers to limit each customer or user to their predefined bandwidth
• Purpose-built FortiASIC-TP processors deliver proven, high performance protection
• Header and state anomaly prevention provides “clean pipe” to improve network utilization
• Stealth activity prevention helps finding spoofers and worm outbreaks
• Centralized alerts, role based management and self service portals provide flexible management and integration
