"Explore the difference between Layer 3 network attacks and Layer 7 application attacks, and how to stay protected."
While traditional DDoS protection focuses on the network layer (UDP/ICMP), modern attackers target the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS). These Layer 7 attacks mimic real user behavior, making them much harder to detect.
Victus Cloud uses advanced behavioral analysis and challenge-response mechanisms (like JS challenges) to filter out malicious traffic before it reaches your application.
Our redundant global edge network can absorb terabits of attack traffic, ensuring your API or website remains responsive even under heavy pressure.
