Azure DDoS Protection Valuable Features

There are different types of network security, but I always prefer endpoint security. Endpoint security on both the source and destination side is key. It's usually IP configuration-based and uses some security keys for protection. That's more secure. Even if someone tries to hack or do something in between, it usually won't break the network security. But there are different types of securities. So, I always prefer endpoint security.

The adaptive tuning in Azure DDoS Protection is also a very good option. When it comes to security, firewalls play a vital role. But even a firewall is something placed in between to allow requests from the source to the destination. But, I always suggest endpoint security is a good option. 

And for web applications, I always go for a web application firewall (WAF). This is available for AWS, even Alibaba Cloud. Everywhere, the same option is available. The WAF, by default, is going to play a vital role for web applications.

AI capabilities are very good. I would rate them an eight out of ten. It depends on how people leverage it. Some people do customizations also. Other than what users do, they want to go for additional security by writing some AI algorithms, etcetera. So it all depends. But, it is very much supportive from an AI and all other aspects.

The Azure DDoS Protection plan is essential for environments like ours that are highly exposed to potential attacks, especially since DDoS attacks have become common. The security architecture with Azure DDoS Protection is critical for safeguarding our financial organization's infrastructure. Although implementing it is pricier, it is worth using since our applications are entirely in Azure.

Azure is easy to set up and widely used by our clients. We can easily scale it up and down, and it functions well in any environment. The ability to do research and development quickly without waiting for infrastructure is a plus. We can plug and play components to build applications or conduct research and development easily. Azure is very stable. We definitely have a lot of return on investment.

The integration of various tools with Azure Firewall, like DDoS Protection, Web Application Firewall, and Azure Front Door, is quite effective. These solutions work together seamlessly to protect our web applications from attacks. 

Additionally, the pricing model is flexible, allowing us to choose how many IP addresses we want to protect, which is cost-effective.

Azure DDoS Protection offers superior protection against denial-of-service attacks. It effectively prevents any malicious traffic from the Internet from reaching our server, even if it originates from a technical user. This ensures that only legitimate business traffic reaches our target, while also protecting against harmful intruders.
