The Anti-DDoS solution is essential for ensuring the availability of websites and corporate systems in the face of growing threats from denial-of-service attacks. This technology works by rapidly detecting and mitigating attacks aimed at overloading digital infrastructure, ensuring continuity and security for your business.
At ACTAR, we offer advanced protection that combats emerging threats such as IoT botnets and sophisticated attacks in real time, ensuring that your network and applications remain operational even under pressure.
Preparing your organization for these threats is indispensable for ensuring digital resilience in today’s landscape, where DDoS attacks are increasingly frequent and sophisticated.
What is anti-DDoS?
Anti-DDoS is a technological solution designed to prevent, detect, and mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, protecting websites, systems, and networks against malicious overloads.
This protection is crucial for ensuring the continuous availability of digital services by blocking suspicious traffic and attacks in real time.
At ACTAR, the Anti-DDoS service offers advanced defense against IoT botnets, encrypted attacks, and high-intensity attacks, keeping operations secure and uninterrupted.

What is a DDoS attack?
A DDoS attack is a malicious strategy used to bring down digital services by saturating their processing and network capacity.
By directing an intense and coordinated flow of requests at the target, the attack exhausts resources and bandwidth, resulting in extreme slowdowns, instability, or complete system shutdown.
This technique is frequently employed by cybercriminals to inflict financial, reputational, and operational damage on companies.
Impact on websites and corporate systems
DDoS attacks bring severe consequences for organizations, including:
Service disruption: websites, applications, and online platforms become inaccessible, disrupting operations and user experience, which can lead to direct loss of customers and revenue.
Financial losses: beyond immediate revenue loss, companies face additional costs for repairs, maintenance, and potential regulatory fines.
Reputational damage: the failure to keep services available erodes the trust of customers and partners, negatively affecting brand image.
Operational disruption: critical internal systems may suffer delays and failures, impacting productivity and the business value chain.
Therefore, having an effective Anti-DDoS solution, such as the one offered by ACTAR, is essential for ensuring digital resilience and protecting your company’s assets against these increasingly frequent and sophisticated threats.
How does the Anti-DDoS solution work?
The Anti-DDoS solution continuously monitors network traffic to identify abnormal patterns. Using advanced behavioral analysis and filtering techniques, it separates legitimate traffic from malicious traffic, automatically blocking requests that indicate a DDoS attack.
At ACTAR, this protection is provided by a perimeter defense device that mitigates attacks in real time, including those originating from IoT botnets and encrypted attacks, ensuring high availability and security for corporate systems and networks.
Common types of DDoS attacks
Flood attacks: massive sending of TCP, UDP, or ICMP packets to saturate the target’s resources.
Amplification attacks: use third-party servers to amplify the attack volume (e.g., DNS or NTP attacks).
Application attacks: aim to exhaust the resources of specific applications, such as web servers.
IoT-based attacks: exploitation of vulnerable connected devices, such as Mirai and Pulse.
PDoS and RDoS: permanent or ransom denial-of-service techniques that can cause lasting damage.
