DDoS Resiliency Score (DRS)
What is the DDoS Resiliency Score?
A DDoS Resiliency Score (DRS) measures how much attack pressure your environment can absorb before service degrades. It is derived from what actually happened during a controlled simulation: whether each vector was detected, whether mitigation was engaged, and how fast.
Using the DRS scores, you can:
- Identify your company’s DDoS threat level, based on your industry.
- Evaluate your DDoS protection by identifying the type of DDoS attacks you should be able to withstand.
- Compare your current DDoS protection level to the protection of other companies in your industry.
The DRS defines seven ascending levels of DDoS attacks. Each level introduces an increased threat, with additional types of attacks, more sophisticated attack vectors, and increased traffic volumes.
Determine Your Protection Level with the DRS Score
Following our DDoS simulation testing, we provide a detailed report that includes a DRS score, indicating your current protection level and recommendations for hardening. The DRS score allows you to clearly evaluate the improvement in your DDoS protection.
