DDoS Protection Strategies for APIs

Join Our Expert-Led Webinar on API DDoS Protection

In an era where DDoS attacks are more sophisticated and devastating than ever, protecting your APIs is critical. Join Dr. Lisa Johnson, Gatekeeper's Chief Security Officer, for an in-depth discussion on modern DDoS protection strategies.

What You'll Learn

This comprehensive webinar covers everything you need to know about protecting your APIs from DDoS attacks:

1. Understanding Modern DDoS Attack Vectors

• Volumetric attacks (UDP floods, ICMP floods, DNS amplification)
• Protocol attacks (SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks)
• Application-layer attacks (HTTP floods, Slowloris, RUDY)
• API-specific DDoS techniques (resource exhaustion, query complexity attacks)
• Multi-vector attacks combining multiple techniques

2. Rate Limiting vs. DDoS Protection

• When rate limiting is sufficient vs. when you need dedicated DDoS protection
• Combining both approaches for layered defense
• Smart rate limiting that distinguishes between legitimate spikes and attacks
• Geographic and behavioral-based rate limiting

3. Live Demonstrations

Dr. Johnson will provide live demonstrations of:

• Simulated DDoS attack detection and mitigation
• Real-time dashboard monitoring during an attack
• Configuring rate limits and circuit breakers in Gatekeeper
• Analyzing attack patterns and traffic anomalies
• Incident response workflow and automated mitigation
