Help protect your network — and data

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks compromise your connectivity by sending attack traffic to a server, website, or network resource. This unwanted traffic floods your network. Overloads systems. Slows down services. And can make your network vulnerable to a more malicious attack down the road.

Businesses in any industry are vulnerable. Those hosting sensitive info — like customer information, business records, or financial data — are more at risk. But your enterprise can take defensive measures with Comcast Business DDoS Mitigation Service, available with our Ethernet Dedicated Internet Service.

An attacker machine running a client program floods the internet and the targets servers via unique IP addresses.

Stop DDoS attacks in their tracks

We route clean traffic to the correct endpoint using a proven process.

Detection

We monitor traffic for a set of IP addresses and can detect suspect and malicious traffic. When we discover an attack, you receive an alert.

Drop and rate limiting

As a first line of defense, traffic is dropped or rate-limited as Layer 3 or Layer 4 malicious traffic at the edge of the network.

Diversion

We also divert BGP Route Layer 7 traffic to scrubbing centers located across the nation.

Delivery

Clean, legitimate traffic is delivered to your network via a secure tunnel. And Internet uptime can be preserved.
