Does AWS protect against DDoS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:04 pm

DDoS attacks are a type of cyberattack that floods a Targeted system with traffic in order to take it down. In the past, DDoS attacks have been used to take down websites, banks, and other large businesses.

One of the most common ways that DDoS attacks are carried out is by using botnets. Botnets are networks of computers that have been infected with a virus or malware and are then used to carry out cyberattacks.

PRO TIP: AWS does not protect against DDoS attacks by default. However, AWS provides a number of tools and services that can be used to protect against DDoS attacks. These include Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Route 53, and Amazon Inspector.

The biggest problem with DDoS attacks is that they are incredibly easy to carry out. Anyone with a computer and the ability to connect to the internet can carry out a DDoS attack.

One of the ways that AWS protects against DDoS attacks is by using its own infrastructure to carry out the attacks. AWS also has a number of tools that are designed to protect against DDoS attacks.

Overall, AWS does a good job of protecting against DDoS attacks. However, there are still a number of ways that a DDoS attack can be carried out.
