Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need DDoS protection?
DDoS attacks are one of the most common and disruptive cybersecurity threats today. Attackers flood your infrastructure with massive volumes of malicious traffic to overload servers, networks, or applications and make them unavailable to legitimate users. Launching a DDoS attack requires minimal investment, yet the consequences can be devastating.
Connecting a professional DDoS protection service ensures your infrastructure remains secure and your business stays available 24/7.
StormWall delivers comprehensive DDoS mitigation across all layers — from network-layer protection (L3-L4) to application-layer protection (L7). Using intelligent filtering and real-time traffic analysis, our solution automatically detects and blocks malicious traffic. The platform scales to any traffic load and can be activated even during an ongoing attack, ensuring uninterrupted service availability for your customers. Without protection, the consequences can include lower search engine rankings, service downtime, reputational damage, customer churn, and, ultimately, significant financial losses.
How do I choose the right type of DDoS protection for my project?
The right DDoS protection solution depends on the specific resources you need to secure. StormWall provides protection for websites, networks, and TCP/UDP services, with scalable infrastructure designed to handle high traffic volumes and large-scale attacks.
For a detailed comparison of how our DDoS protection services differ, see the table below.
How does DDoS protection work?
It largely depends on the product and connection method you choose. For example, with StormWall for Web you can use a classic connection — you receive a protected address in our cloud and point your site's DNS record to it; all traffic is inspected, filtered, and optimized, illegitimate traffic is blocked immediately, and only clean traffic reaches your server with visitors' real IP addresses preserved in the HTTP header. Alternatively, with a BGP connection your network is announced to the StormWall cloud via BGP and your site is protected without changing its IP addresses. In both connection options, protection is available without disclosing your private SSL keys. Learn more about how all StormWall DDoS protection services work via the link.
Why trust StormWall, and how can I verify the reliability of the protection?
You receive access to a dedicated Client Portal with full visibility into your traffic and security events. At any time, you can review detailed attack reports, traffic analytics, and mitigation statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of StormWall’s filtering technology.
New customers are eligible for a free trial period with full access to all DDoS protection features and our technical support team.
Can DDoS protection be activated quickly without service downtime?
Yes. StormWall’s cloud DDoS protection can be deployed rapidly — both before and during an attack. Once activated, all incoming traffic is automatically routed through our filtering infrastructure, where malicious traffic is blocked without impacting legitimate users.
