🛡️DDoS Protection

🔹 Core Concept
Azure DDoS Protection safeguards your Azure resources from Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks by continuously monitoring and automatically mitigating malicious network traffic.

🔹 Types of Protection
Two tiers available:

• Basic: Enabled by default for all Azure services with always-on traffic monitoring.

• Standard: Provides enhanced mitigation, telemetry, and alerts for virtual networks with public endpoints.

🔹 Automatic Attack Mitigation
Continuously analyzes network traffic patterns and automatically mitigates volumetric, protocol, and resource (application layer) DDoS attacks in real time.

🔹 Integration with Virtual Network
Seamlessly integrates with Azure Virtual Network (VNet) to protect all public IP addresses associated with resources like Load Balancers, App Gateways, and VMs.

🔹 Adaptive Tuning
Learns normal traffic patterns of each application and automatically adapts protection thresholds for better accuracy and reduced false positives.

🔹 Advanced Telemetry & Analytics
Provides detailed visibility into attack metrics through Azure Monitor, Metrics, and Diagnostic Logs, allowing real-time monitoring and analysis.

🔹 Cost Protection & SLA
Includes DDoS cost protection, offering credit for scaling charges during an attack, along with financially backed 99.99% SLA on availability.

🔹 Attack Analytics & Reporting
Generates post-attack analytics reports with traffic insights, attack vectors, and mitigation timelines for security reviews and audits.

🔹 Integration with Security Center
Works in conjunction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud (Security Center) to provide threat intelligence, recommendations, and automated response workflows.

🔹 Global Network Scale
Built on Microsoft’s global backbone, capable of mitigating terabit-scale attacks using advanced network edge filtering and AI-based detection.
