DNS Redirection
When you’re hit by a DDoS attack, it’s easy to redirect your traffic through the UltraDDoS Protect™ cloud. This is done most frequently via a quick DNS change.
- The simplest way to reroute traffic.
- No special requirements.
- Best for protecting a smaller number of hosts and websites that come under attack.
How It Works
When you’re under attack or anticipate one:
- Switch the DNS records for any threatened hosts to your Neustar provided IP addresses.
- Your traffic flows through the UltraDDoS Protect cloud, where bad traffic is filtered by the Neustar Security Operations Center (SOC) senior-level DDoS mitigation professionals; good traffic proceeds to your infrastructure.
- Once the attack subsides, just switch your DNS records back to your original IPs.
Bottom Line:
DNS Redirection is quick, easy and effective with customized mitigation and support from our frontline experts. And you’re back up and running in no time.
