Overview
DDoS attacks are among the most disruptive threats to online services. From massive volumetric floods to stealthy application-layer attacks, adversaries exploit capacity limits and configuration weaknesses to cause downtime and reputational damage.
Our DDoS Resilience Test measures how well your organization detects, mitigates, and recovers from such attacks under realistic conditions. The assessment validates network and application-layer protections, scrubbing efficiency, and incident response effectiveness to ensure business continuity even under stress.
The result is a clear understanding of your true resilience, backed by actionable recommendations to strengthen both your infrastructure and operational response.
DDoS
Volumetric Attack Simulation
Assess network capacity and upstream provider response under high-bandwidth floods.
Application-Layer Attack Testing
Evaluate resilience to HTTP floods and slow-rate attacks targeting web servers and APIs.
Mitigation Validation
Verify the effectiveness of WAF, CDN, and scrubbing services in filtering malicious traffic.
Routing and Failover
Test BGP routing, DNS fallback, and redundancy mechanisms during simulated disruptions.
Detection and Response
Measure SOC reaction time, escalation paths, and communication workflows during active scenarios.
Reporting and Improvement
Deliver technical findings, capacity insights, and recommendations for enhanced resilience.

Testing Methodology
1
Scoping & Kick-off
Define test objectives, in-scope assets, acceptable intensity levels, and emergency procedures. Coordinate with ISPs or CDN providers to ensure safe and authorized execution.
2
Baseline & Preparation
Measure normal operating performance and ensure logging, monitoring, and alerting systems are ready to capture all test activity accurately.
3
Controlled Simulation
Conduct safe and progressive DDoS simulations including volumetric, protocol, and application-layer traffic to observe defensive behavior and response coordination.
4
Observation & Response Evaluation
Monitor how security teams, mitigation systems, and upstream providers react. Evaluate detection speed, escalation effectiveness, and stability under pressure.
5
Reporting & Debrief
Present detailed results, including thresholds reached, mitigation efficiency, and recommendations to improve network configuration, incident response, and capacity planning.
FAQ
- Written authorization from your organization and upstream providers.
- Agreed test schedule, emergency contacts, and defined stop criteria.
- Access to topology diagrams and relevant network or CDN configuration details.
- Active monitoring and alerting tools configured to capture telemetry during testing.
The assessment is designed to be safe and controlled. Traffic intensity and duration are carefully managed, and every simulation is coordinated with your team to minimize any business impact.
The duration depends on the scope and number of targets. A focused test typically takes 3 to 5 business days, including preparation, controlled simulations, and reporting.
The test covers both network-layer and application-layer attacks, such as SYN floods, UDP floods, amplification vectors, HTTP floods, and slow-rate requests. Each scenario is adapted to your infrastructure and threat model.
Because the only way to know if your DDoS protections truly work is to test them. This service provides measurable insights into how your systems and teams handle real-world attack conditions, ensuring readiness and minimizing downtime risk.
