What is FortiDDoS designed to do?

FortiDDoS is specifically designed to detect and mitigate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks effectively. DDoS attacks aim to overwhelm a network, service, or application by flooding it with excessive traffic, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users. FortiDDoS provides real-time threat detection and automated mitigation strategies to protect network resources from these attacks, ensuring continuous availability and reliability of services.

The focus of FortiDDoS is on maintaining service availability rather than enhancing user experience, securely storing credentials, or increasing network speed. While those aspects are important for overall network security and performance, they do not pertain directly to the primary function of FortiDDoS, which is to safeguard against the impact of DDoS threats. The solution analyzes traffic patterns and distinguishes between legitimate and malicious traffic to effectively respond to and neutralize threats before they can disrupt services.
