Product Information on Azure DDoS Protection

Updated 14th October 2025

What is Azure DDoS Protection?

Azure DDoS Protection is a software developed by Microsoft that provides distributed denial of service mitigation capabilities for applications hosted on Azure. The software continuously monitors network traffic, uses adaptive tuning, and applies automatic attack mitigation to protect resources from large-scale DDoS attacks. It offers real-time telemetry and alerts, enabling administrators to understand attack patterns and respond effectively. The software integrates with other Azure security products to build comprehensive protection strategies and helps businesses maintain application availability and performance by addressing threats that target uptime and network reliability. It supports compliance and reporting with detailed analytics and post-attack analysis.

Azure DDoS Protection Pricing

Azure DDoS Protection software uses a pricing model based on a fixed monthly fee per protected resource, with charges applied for each public IP address enabled for protection. The software includes options for standard protection levels, and additional charges may apply for extra features and outbound data transfers. Pricing varies depending on deployment scale and selected plan.
