Introduction

FortiDDoS F-Series is a network behavior anomaly (NBA) distributed denial of service (DDoS) prevention system that detects and blocks attacks that intend to disrupt network service by overwhelming server and/or other network resources.

FortiDDoS uses a variety of methods, including anomaly detection, Source IP validation and statistical techniques, to provide nonstop protection, including as-yet unknown “zero-day” attacks. When FortiDDoS detects an attack, it immediately drops traffic from the offending source, thus protecting the systems it defends from floods.
