DDoS Simulation
Find out exactly how much load your defenses absorb before a real attack does, in a controlled exercise you fully command.
Every organization assumes its CDN, WAF, and mitigation provider will hold under a denial-of-service attack. Few have ever tested that assumption, and the middle of a real attack is the worst possible moment to discover a misconfiguration.

Why this matters right now.
Every organization assumes its CDN, WAF, and scrubbing provider will hold under a real denial-of-service attack. Almost none have tested that assumption under controlled conditions. The middle of a real attack is the worst possible time to discover a misconfiguration in your mitigation controls.
Our DDoS simulation safely recreates volumetric and application-layer attacks against agreed targets, fully coordinated with your network, cloud, and hosting teams. We identify failure thresholds, validate that mitigation triggers correctly, measure recovery times, and hand back concrete tuning recommendations, all under your control with an immediate stop capability.

FAQ
DDoS Simulation questions, answered.
The questions we hear most often before an engagement starts, answered directly, without sales language.
Yes, when planned correctly. Tests are scoped, scheduled, and coordinated with your teams and providers, and can be halted instantly at any point.
Yes. We coordinate authorization with your hosting, cloud, and mitigation providers in advance so the exercise is not mistaken for a real attack.
Volumetric network floods (L3/L4) and application-layer attacks (L7) such as HTTP floods, tuned to the technologies in your environment.
Documented failure thresholds, mitigation behavior, measured recovery times, and prioritized recommendations to improve resilience.
Always. You hold an immediate stop capability, and we monitor jointly throughout to keep the exercise fully under control.
