DDoS Mitigation Service
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are among the most common types of cyberattacks.
Bad actors take advantage of the capacity limits of network and server resources — such as the infrastructure enabling an organization's website — and overload them. DDoS attacks send malformed, high-volume requests to your application, server, and network resources, aiming to exceed their capacity to handle the traffic, prevent proper function, and take them offline for legitimate users.
DDoS attacks can result in potential revenue losses if there is downtime. They also can lead to reputational damage due to customer service issues and remediation.
In the fourth quarter of 2024 alone, over half a million (512,000) DDoS attacks were registered worldwide².

Proactive Detection and Response
At the heart of Comcast Business DDoS Mitigation Service is an advanced monitoring system that continually analyzes network flows to detect and proactively respond to DDoS threats. In the event of an attack, our service automatically scrubs malicious traffic. Comcast Business does not redirect traffic to the cloud or use Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels that may limit throughput. This technique helps preserve bandwidth capacity and avoid latency issues.
Geo Blocking and Allow List features provide customers with precise access controls. Plus, our advanced detection algorithms help minimize false positives. Threshold adjustments ensure that legitimate traffic remains unblocked during a DDoS attack.
Enhanced Analytics Support Informed Decision Making
Comcast Business DDoS Mitigation Service goes beyond detection and mitigation by providing insights and analysis for each attack, including reports for customers. Customers can also track attacks by severity, type, volume and mitigation details, plus obtain historical data with additional insights into threat activity.
