Layer 3/4 Protection – Stop Volumetric Attacks

Use Cloudflare Magic Transit, AWS Shield Advanced, Akamai Kona, or Imperva scrubbing centers. Enable BGP anycast routing, SYN cookies, rate limiting per IP, and connection tracking. We simulate 100 Gbps+ attacks in lab so students configure real-time mitigation using enterprise-grade firewalls and cloud providers.

Layer 7 & Application-Level DDoS Defense

Modern attacks target login pages, APIs, checkout. Defense: Cloudflare WAF + Rate Limiting, custom rules, JavaScript challenges, CAPTCHA, bot management, fingerprinting, behavioral analysis. Our students write production-grade WAF rules that block millions of malicious requests daily for real clients.
