What is the process of your DDoS test simulation?

We begin with an exploration call to learn about your architecture, DDoS protection measures and goals. We then plan simulations that best suit the situation, with controlled attacks and coordination with your team. After the tests have been executed, we provide a detailed report of the results, including which attacks were not mitigated, their severity, and recommendations on how to improve your defenses. We review these results in a conference call and answer any questions you may have.

Do we need to inform Azure/AWS/our ISP before performing the DDoS simulations?

We will confirm that your ISP, cloud providers, mitigators and data center have agreed to the DDoS testing details. Because we are an authorized DDoS Test Partner of both AWS and Azure, we have standing approval from them to carry out DDoS tests (up to a certain volume of traffic) at any time, without the need for further notifications or permissions.

What do you need to know about our environment to perform testing?

Because we use a white box testing approach to design DDoS attacks that stress your specific architecture, we first learn about your services, network, and mitigation technologies. This helps us plan effective tests, as well as provide actionable recommendations for your environment.

What type of DDoS attacks do you simulate in your testing?

Our tests are designed to simulate real-life attacks, based on the latest tactics and strategies of global hackers. They combine multiple attack vectors: Volumetric attacks from multiple global locations to test your ability to withstand extreme and sustained campaigns with massive traffic. Protocol (network-layer) attacks such as SYN floods, UDP floods, and others. Application-layer attacks that test your resistance to the more difficult-to-detect, layer 7 attacks.

What are the risks in DDoS testing?

The risks are minimal. We employ multiple methods and procedures to minimize disruption and keep you in full control during test simulations. For example, testing can be limited to your pre-production system and carried out during maintenance windows. During a DDoS test, we increase attack rates gradually while monitoring your system’s response, and we can stop the attack immediately in case of any undesired impact.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Our DDoS attack simulation is a fully managed service. There is no need to install any software.

Which DDoS protection tools and technologies do you support?

Our team is proficient with a large number of tools and technologies – both cloud and on premises.

Is DDoS testing legal?

Yes. Since DDoS simulation tests are carried out with the knowledge and approval of the targeted organization, they are considered a legal activity.

How DDoS Testing is Performed:
Our Proven Process

Our testing methodology is built around a proven three-phase approach:

Planning & Scoping

We analyze your network architecture, APIs, and cloud environment (AWS/Azure/On-prem) to define the testing perimeter.We develop test scenarios aligned to your environment with the greatest potential of uncovering vulnerabilities.

Attack Simulation

A DDoS testing expert simulates controlled, real-world attacks (Volumetric, Protocol, and Application Layer) to measure your system's breaking point.Emergency stop available at any time.

Post Test - Detailed DDoS Security Audit & Remediation

Our DDoS testing experts transform simulation data into a comprehensive DDoS security audit.  We don’t just find gaps; we provide a roadmap to fix them.

See our report

Comprehensive Attack Simulation Framework

Our testing leverages a repository of over 100 attack vectors, combining multiple techniques to simulate real-world attack patterns.

Volumetric Attacks

Our testing leverages a repository of over 100 attack vectors, combining multiple techniques to simulate real-world attack patterns.

Protocol Attacks

Exploitation of weaknesses in network and transport layers (e.g., SYN floods, TCP anomalies, fragmentation)

Application Layer Attacks

Targeted attacks on web applications and APIs (e.g., HTTP floods, slow attacks, TLS exhaustion)

Tailored to Your Environment

No two environments are the same—and neither are our tests. Every engagement is customized based on:

Your architecture and infrastructure

Internet-facing assets, APIs, and services

Known risks and business priorities

Traffic patterns and peak usage behavior

This ensures the testing is relevant, realistic, and aligned with real-world threats.

DDoS Test Execution at Your Pace

Our DDoS testing experts handle the entire process—from planning through execution to analysis—while maintaining full collaboration with your team. We work at your pace, ensuring every step is coordinated and transparent.
