Azure DDoS Protection

Azure service that mitigates distributed denial-of-service attacks against public IP resources in virtual networks.

Definition

All Azure resources receive basic infrastructure-level DDoS protection. Azure DDoS Network Protection (per virtual network) and DDoS IP Protection (per public IP) add adaptive tuning, attack telemetry and alerts, and Network Protection includes rapid response support and cost protection.

Example

DDoS Network Protection is enabled on the VNet hosting a public-facing Application Gateway.

Exam tip

DDoS Protection guards layers 3 and 4; pair it with a WAF for application-layer (layer 7) attacks.
