DDoS protection benefits
Always-on mitigation that absorbs attacks before they reach origin.
Behavioral detection
Adaptive baselines separate legitimate users, API clients, and AI traffic from low-and-slow floods, bots, scrapers, and prompt abuse.
Availability and cost protection
Autoscaling edge mitigation keeps websites, applications, APIs, and AI workloads reachable while abusive traffic is filtered before origin or inference services.
Protecting thousands of applications.
Blocking billions of attacks.

Why AppTrana DDoS
Five gaps in modern DDoS protection. AppTrana closes all of them.
Most DDoS protection tools were built for network floods. Modern attacks also target application paths, API endpoints, bots, and AI workloads where availability and cost break together.
| DDoS protection gap | Typical platform approach | AppTrana approach |
|---|---|---|
| Managed escalation | Teams are forced to triage false positives, update allowlists, and tune controls mid-attack under maximum pressure. | AppTrana includes 24x7 managed escalation, custom mitigation support, and false-positive validation so your team does not have to resolve the incident alone. |
| Cost protection | Metered mitigation, API gateways, autoscaling infrastructure, and AI inference endpoints can turn attack traffic into a surge bill. | Unmetered DDoS protection absorbs attack traffic at the edge so abusive requests do not drive infrastructure, gateway, or inference costs. |
| Endpoint-aware controls | Global rate limits treat all URLs and APIs the same. A flood on login, search, checkout, or a high-cost API endpoint can blend into normal traffic. | AppTrana applies controls by URI, endpoint, IP, session, host, and geography so abusive traffic is stopped at the right choke point. |
| Always-on protection | Protection is activated after attack detection, leaving teams to reroute traffic while the incident is already underway. | AppTrana DDoS protection is always on, so traffic is already flowing through the mitigation layer when attacks start. |
| L3-L7 coverage | Network and protocol floods are handled, but HTTP floods, low-and-slow attacks, API abuse, bot floods, and scraper traffic need separate controls. | AppTrana protects across L3, L4, and L7 with behavioral DDoS detection that adapts to live traffic baselines, plus bot defense and granular rate limits. |
FAQ
Questions teams ask before choosing AppTrana DDoS Protection.
AppTrana protects against L3, L4, and L7 DDoS attacks, including ICMP and UDP floods, SYN floods, reflection attacks, HTTP floods, low-and-slow attacks, API endpoint floods, scraper floods, credential stuffing bursts, bot-driven floods, and abusive AI endpoint traffic.
Yes. AppTrana runs as an always-on edge protection layer, so DDoS mitigation is already active before attack traffic reaches your websites, applications, APIs, or AI endpoints.
AppTrana runs on a 100 Tbps+ distributed global network, giving it the scale to absorb large-scale volumetric and L3-L7 attacks without service disruption.
AppTrana builds traffic baselines across users, API clients, sessions, hosts, geography, request rates, and URI or endpoint patterns. When traffic deviates, mitigation kicks in without blocking valid users, mobile clients, partner integrations, or service-to-service traffic.
Yes. AppTrana applies rate limits at the endpoint level in addition to global limits. You can set separate thresholds for login, search, checkout, or any high-value endpoint, and combine them with IP, session, host, and geography controls.
Unmetered protection means you are not penalized for being attacked. AppTrana filters malicious traffic at the edge and forwards legitimate traffic to your origin, helping prevent attack traffic from driving API gateway, autoscaling, or inference costs.
Yes. AppTrana can throttle abusive AI endpoint usage, filter bot-driven request floods, and apply controls before token-burning prompts or inference calls reach expensive backend services.
Yes. AppTrana includes 24x7 managed services for attack escalation, custom mitigation support, false-positive validation, post-attack reporting, and expert guidance during active DDoS incidents.
