Kentik DDoS detection leverages network analytics and insights to deliver a detailed picture of your traffic, serving to identify and mitigate DDoS attacks in real time. This service protects organizations’ networks and ensures business continuity.

We’ve made a number of improvements to v4 DDoS detection and policies, see for yourself:

• The mitigation list in v4 now shows all mitigations, regardless of whether they were triggered by v3 or v4 policies.
• Mitigation list now includes the mitigation ID.
• Alerts and mitigations are now cross-referenced. Alert summaries and details show any related mitigations and vice versa.

• Configured thresholds are now displayed immediately in the policy configuration. Previously, thresholds were displayed only after the graph finished loading.
• Thresholds must now be configured in order (i.e. “critical” must have higher threshold values than “major”).
• Threshold lines on the graph now use colors with more contrast to make them easier to distinguish.
• General cleanup and bug fixes in policy configuration, including IP exclusions
• DDoS alert log is now searchable by multiple dimensions, including full or partial key values.
