Start Your Free TrialThe Challenge of Application-Layer Attacks
Layer 7 DDoS attacks are designed to mimic legitimate user traffic, making them difficult to detect and block with traditional security measures. They target specific application resources to cause downtime and disrupt your business.
Sophisticated Attack Vectors
Attacks like HTTP floods and Slowloris exploit application logic and can be launched with minimal bandwidth.
Hard to Detect
Attack traffic closely resembles legitimate requests, bypassing simple IP-based blocking and rate limiting.
High Impact
Even small-scale Layer 7 attacks can exhaust server resources, leading to significant downtime and financial loss.
