Google Cloud has announced innovative solutions to protect websites from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks using its networking and network security capabilities. These solutions leverage Google Cloud's global infrastructure and advanced services such as Cloud Armor, Cloud CDN, and Load Balancing.
What caught my attention was Google's focus on providing protection to critical websites such as news organizations, election infrastructure, and human rights organizations through Project Shield. But what's interesting is that the same technologies can be used by businesses to protect their applications, websites, and APIs.
Google Cloud solutions are distinguished by their ability to distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic, allowing them to effectively filter attacks. They are also scalable to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes.
A practical example of the effectiveness of these solutions is their use in repelling one of the world's largest DDoS attacks.
I believe these solutions will be of great benefit to businesses looking to protect themselves from growing cyber threats.
