Nobody floods a retailer at four in the morning in February. They arrive on Black Friday, at a product drop, during a campaign - when an hour offline is measurable in revenue and when your infrastructure is already at its limit. Protection that only works when the site is quiet is not protection.
Amplification and UDP floods aimed at the address the shop resolves to. Nothing about the application matters - the link fills and the shop is gone.
Checkout, search and login are the costly paths. A few thousand well-formed requests a second against them will bring down an origin that would shrug off a hundred times the volume on a static page.
Not an outage, but the same infrastructure problem: automated clients buying limited stock, scraping prices, or testing stolen passwords against your login form.
Volumetric traffic is dropped at our edge at line rate. The origin never sees it and the link never fills.
A reverse proxy terminates the session, inspects the real request and forwards what survives. TLS certificates are issued and renewed automatically, so nothing expires during a campaign weekend.
A captcha shown to everyone is a conversion cost you pay all year to stop an attack that lasts an hour. Challenges escalate with the evidence, so ordinary shoppers are not asked to prove anything.
Proxies, VPN egress, Tor exit nodes, headless browsers and scripted clients are classified and handled per hostname by your policy, not by our default.
ISO 9001ISO 27001PCI-DSSGDPRNIS2 The mitigation is one layer. The same network sells the layers around it - and a stack bought from one operator has nobody in it to blame somebody else.
Protected dedicated access for headquarters and the origin infrastructure - one supplier for the connectivity and the mitigation, so an attack never turns into a conference call between two vendors. Protected transit & DIA →
EVPN circuits between locations: point-of-sale systems, stock systems and office VLANs stretched between sites without VPN overlays, with protection switching stated per route. EVPN-MPLS transport →
