Introduction

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are one of the biggest security and security concerns faced by customers deploying their systems in the cloud. DDoS attack attempts to terminate the app’s resources, making the application unavailable to legitimate users. DDoS attacks can be targeted at any end that is publicly available online.

All Azure assets are protected by Azure DDoS (Basic) Infrastructure Protection at no additional cost. The scale and power of the Azure network distributed worldwide provides protection from common network crashes with normal vehicle monitoring and real-time reduction. DDoS Protection Basic does not require user modification or application modifications. DDoS Protection Basic helps protect all Azure services, including PaaS services like Azure DNS.

Features

Native platform integration: Compiled by Azure. Includes Azure portal suspension. The DDoS Protection Standard understands your resources and resources configuration.

Turnkey protection: The simplified configuration protects all sources on the virtual network as soon as the DDoS Protection Standard is enabled. No intervention or user description is required.

Always-on traffic monitoring: Your application traffic patterns are monitored 24 hours each day, 7 days every week, trying to find indications of DDoS attacks. DDoS Protection Standard quickly and automatically minimizes attacks, once detected.

Adaptive tuning: Smart Traffic Builder reads your app traffic over time, and selects and updates the most appropriate profile for your service. Profile changes as traffic changes over time.

Multi-Layered protection: When distributed through an internet application firewall (WAF), the DDoS Protection Standard protects both the network layer (Layers 3 and 4, provided by the Azure DDoS Protection Standard) and the application path (Layer 7, provided by WAF). WAF offerings include Azure Application Gateway WAF SKU as well as third-party firewall offerings available on Azure Marketplace.

Extensive mitigation scale: More than 60 types of attacks can be reduced, with global power, to protect against the largest DDoS attacks known.

Attack analytics: Get detailed reports on a five-minute upgrade during an attack, with a complete summary after the attack ends. Distribute Azure Sentinel mitigation logs or offline security and event management (SIEM) system for close real-time monitoring during an attack.

Attack metrics: Summary metrics from each attack are available via Azure Monitor.

Attack alerting: Notifications can be adjusted at the beginning and end of the attack, and over the time of the attack, using built-in attack metrics. Alerts are integrated with your operating system such as Microsoft Azure Monitor logs, Splunk, Azure Storage, email and Azure portal.

DDoS Rapid Response: Involve the DDoS Protection Rapid Response (DRR) team to assist with the investigation and analysis.

Cost guarantee: Obtain a data transfer credit and a request to measure resources at the cost of resources obtained as a result of DDoS written attacks.

Pricing

DDoS protection plans have a hard and fast monthly charge of $2,944 per month which covers up to 100 public IP addresses. Protection for extra resources will cost a further $30 per resource per month.

Under a tenant, a one DDoS protection plan are often used across multiple subscriptions, so there’s is no got to create quite one DDoS protection plan.
