Layer 7 DDoS Protection

StackPath WAF automatically protects against Layer 7 DDoS attacks, the largest and most common types of attacks. The WAF measures and analyzes all traffic coming through it; if a domain threshold, burst threshold, or sub-second burst threshold (all of which can be customized) is exceeded the WAF suspects an attack and challenges traffic to verify it is coming from a human.

• Customize Thresholds

Predefined thresholds can be configured per domain, allowing protection to be customized to the domain’s acceptable traffic profile.

• White List Traffic Sources

Known legitimate traffic sources, like search engines, are allowed through even during a DDoS attack.
