How Webflow Enterprise Protects Against DDOS Attacks

Webflow Enterprise utilizes a range of security features and processes to protect websites from DDoS attacks, ensuring businesses can maintain a stable online presence.

Scalability and Performance
Webflow Enterprise boasts a scalable infrastructure that effectively manages large volumes of traffic. This adaptability allows the platform to handle sudden traffic spikes—whether intentional or not—by dynamically adjusting resources. This capability ensures that websites remain operational even during DDoS attacks.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Integration with a global Content Delivery Network helps Webflow distribute incoming traffic across various servers worldwide. In the event of a DDoS attack, the CDN evenly distributes the traffic load, preventing any single server from being overwhelmed. This not only boosts website performance but also enhances its resilience against attacks.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)
The Web Application Firewall included by Webflow Enterprise scans all incoming traffic, identifying and blocking malicious requests. This protective layer ensures that only genuine traffic reaches the site, reducing the risk of a DDoS attack affecting website accessibility.

Threat Detection and Mitigation
Advanced threat detection systems continuously monitor traffic patterns and user behavior on the platform. These systems can identify early signs of a DDoS attack, allowing Webflow to quickly implement countermeasures that direct malicious traffic away from the website.

Traffic Management
Webflow offers tools for effective traffic management, such as rate limiting, which restricts how many requests a single IP address can make within a given timeframe. This feature prevents individual sources from flooding the server, adding an extra layer of protection against DDoS threats.

Custom Security Rules
Users of Webflow Enterprise can establish custom security rules tailored to address specific vulnerabilities or traffic patterns. By blocking suspicious traffic based on geographic location or request type, businesses can bolster their defenses against targeted DDoS attacks.

Regular Security Audits
To ensure ongoing security, Webflow conducts regular security audits and assessments. These audits are aimed at identifying and addressing any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. By staying proactive, Webflow helps keep websites fortified against DDoS attacks and other security threats.

Webflow Enterprise's comprehensive security measures, including scalable infrastructure, CDN integration, WAF, advanced threat detection, traffic management, custom security rules, and regular audits, equip businesses to safeguard their websites from the disruptive effects of DDoS attacks while focusing on growth and success.
