DDoS Protection Options

1. DIY Protection:

DIY protection attempts often involve static traffic thresholds and indiscriminate IP blacklisting. As well as factoring in CapEx and OpEx, one of the most obvious costs associated with a DIY strategy is the yearly maintenance costs associated with the appliance purchased from the vendor, which ranges between 17% to 21%.

With the rise of DDoS attacks, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have begun to offer anti-DDoS services often referred to as Clean Pipe. A clean pipe service could cost between 20% of the cost of the connectivity contract, or sometimes as much as the original contract itself, depending on the quality, features and the service level commitments that might or might not come with each service.

3. Third Party Security as a Service Providers

Security as a Service (SECaaS) can most easily be described as a cloud delivered model for outsourcing cybersecurity services. Much like Software as a Service (SaaS), SECaaS provides security services on a subscription basis hosted by cloud providers. SECaaS solutions have become increasingly popular for organizations and enterprises as a way to ease the burden of in-house security team’s responsibilities, scale security needs as the business grows, and avoid the costs and maintenance of on-premise appliances.
