How we research, rank, and fact-check DDoS protection tools.

Ranking methodology

Rankings on this site are based on four weighted factors:

  • Network capacity: published scrubbing or network capacity in terabits per second (Tbps), sourced from vendor documentation or public filings.
  • Uptime SLA: whether a vendor publishes a specific uptime percentage or mitigation-time commitment, and at which plan tier.
  • Deployment model fit: whether a tool is cloud-native, on-premise, or hybrid, and how that matches common buyer infrastructure.
  • Vertical fit: whether a tool has features (such as Bring Your Own IP support) relevant to specific industries like iGaming and FinTech.

Sourcing standard

Every statistic on this site cites a named source and a publication year. Approved sources include vendor primary documentation, public financial filings, named industry reports with a stated methodology, and official regulatory text such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We do not publish unattributed statistics, invented benchmarks, or figures copied from a competing publication without independent verification.

Update policy

Vendor capacity figures, pricing, and SLA terms change frequently. Pages describing these details carry a "last updated" date and are reviewed periodically against current vendor documentation.

Commercial relationship disclosure
