| On-Demand and Automatic Mitigation | We perform detailed traffic analysis and can identify anomalies in near real time.

If at any point you believe you're under attack, you can contact us to launch a mitigation]. We also offers an optional Platform-Initiated Mitigation (PIM) feature to detect traffic anomalies faster using an automated, machine-based trigger to activate mitigation. |

Conveniently located through the BusinessDirect® website, you can also maintain IP addresses for mitigation or make adjustments to authorized contacts. |
| Unlimited and Unmetered Mitigations | There is no limit on the number of mitigations a customer can have or no limit on the bandwidth size of an attack |
| Multi-tiered Pricing | Our multi-tiered pricing model offers cost-effective protections to fit your organization's budget requirements. |
| Flexible Mitigation Activation | Manual and pre-authorized mitigation trigger options let you choose how to trigger the mitigation process. With the manual trigger, we get authorization from your designated contact before we initiate mitigation. If you choose pre-authorized mitigation, we start mitigation as soon as we investigate an alert and confirm it as a DDoS attack. This option can reduce response times to attacks |
