DataDome DDoS Protect FAQ

What is DataDome DDoS Protect?

DDoS Protect delivers ultra-fast, under 2ms detection of sophisticated Layer 7 (L7) DDoS attacks. It adds advanced application-layer defenses to the industry-leading bot management solution. It protects apps and APIs, adds operational cost efficiency, and stops the threats that bypass existing DDoS controls.

How does DDoS Protect detect DDoS attacks that other solutions miss?

DDoS Protect uses multi-layered AI models to analyze every request. It detects Layer 7 attacks in real time with under 2ms response time and a false positive rate below 0.01%—so apps and APIs stay protected without blocking legitimate users.

Why should I add DDoS Protect if I already have edge network security in place?

Unlike network-based solutions that rely on IP reputation and traffic volume anomalies, DDoS Protect defends against sophisticated Layer 7 attacks that bypass network-layer defenses. DDoS Protect defends the application layer, including APIs, websites, and mobile apps, from targeted, evasive threats that bypass network defenses.

Can DataDome DDoS Protect work with my existing CDN, WAAP, or app delivery infrastructure?

DDoS Protect integrates seamlessly into your existing technology stack. With over 50 out-of-the-box integrations, it can be deployed on edge CDNs like Fastly, Cloudflare, and CloudFront, or on server-side platforms including NGINX, F5, HAProxy, Envoy, and more. Traffic redirection is not required.

How fast is DataDome at detecting L7 DDoS attacks?

With more than 30 points of presence globally, DDoS Protect delivers under a 2ms detection response time. This ultra-fast response time ensures near real-time protection without impacting user experience or business operations.

Does DataDome DDoS Protect provide always-on protection?

Yes. DDoS Protect delivers always-on, real-time layer 7 DDoS protection without requiring traffic redirection during attacks. High-value components like login, checkout, and APIs remain continuously protected to ensure uptime and an uninterrupted user experience.

Does DDoS Protect require additional bandwidth or increase operational costs?

No. DDoS Protect does not require extra bandwidth or add to operational costs. Customers typically see a reduction in network consumption and infrastructure overhead by blocking unwanted DDoS and bot traffic, improving operational efficiency, and lowering costs.

Can DDoS Protect stop zero-day or evolving threats?

Yes. DDoS Protect runs on autopilot with multi-layered AI that adapts in real time to zero-day and evasive attack patterns. It works at the edge, blocking L7 attacks instantly. No manual updates are required, enabling continuous protection across all endpoints.
