01
public website protection
Keep corporate, government, and brand websites available during volumetric and application-layer attacks, protecting reputation and visitor experience.
solution description
stc DDoS Protection is a managed service to detect and mitigate the threat of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks for businesses.
DDoS attacks are a popular method used by attackers to take down an organization's website or company network. They involve overwhelming a network with traffic, which normally comes from botnets created from malware-infected endpoints.
solution benefits
- High bandwidth capacity, offering up to 14Tb of protection.
- Deployment flexibility — available in cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid models.
- ISP coverage — extensive protection across all telecommunications networks.
- Real-time mitigation of attack traffic.
- Automated and frequent reporting on activity and incidents.
mapped use cases
where DDoS protection delivers most value
Continuous protection for any service published over the internet — keeping the experience available for legitimate users even while an attack is in progress.
02
business application & API protection
Shield customer portals, internal SaaS, and exposed APIs from disruption — preserving SLAs and preventing downtime for revenue-generating workflows.
03
e-commerce continuity
Protect online stores, checkout flows, and payment gateways during peak sales windows — when downtime translates directly into lost revenue and customer trust.
04
critical published services
Defend always-on services — banking, healthcare portals, citizen services, and remote-access gateways — where availability is non-negotiable and outages carry compliance impact.
solution illustration
how DDoS protection works
Inbound internet traffic is inspected at scale across stc's network. Attack traffic is dropped at the edge while clean traffic is forwarded to your published service — with no change required to your own infrastructure.
traffic path
-
01
mixed inbound traffic legitimate users and attackers reach stc's network from anywhere on the public internet
-
02
stc edge detection anomaly detection across volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attack signatures
-
03
scrubbing & mitigation malicious traffic dropped at the edge; legitimate traffic separated and preserved in real time
-
04
clean traffic forwarded filtered traffic delivered to your protected website, application, or service
-
05
customer environment end users continue to reach the service uninterrupted, even while an attack is in progress
