What is Project Shield?

Project Shield, created by Google Cloud in collaboration with Jigsaw and powered by Google Cloud Armor, provides free and unlimited protection against DDoS attacks, which are intentional efforts to disrupt online access by saturating websites with excessive traffic. Utilizing Google's extensive infrastructure and sophisticated DDoS mitigation technologies, it efficiently filters out harmful traffic. In the event of a DDoS assault on your website, the service guarantees that our servers will intercept and block the undesirable traffic, ensuring your site remains functional. Moreover, Project Shield can be configured to fetch content from your website's servers and deliver a cached version to users during subsequent requests, which greatly alleviates the burden on your servers and enhances resistance to future DDoS threats. By implementing caching, the service not only strengthens DDoS defenses but also improves overall website performance while saving bandwidth, a significant advantage for any kind of site. Additionally, users have the capability to invalidate cached content as needed to accommodate specific requirements of their site. The enhanced security features of Project Shield come with controls such as JavaScript cookies and IP denial lists, which provide an even greater level of security for websites, ensuring visitors enjoy a safer browsing experience. This comprehensive array of features makes Project Shield a formidable resource for any online entity striving to maintain both accessibility and security in the face of cyber threats, reinforcing the importance of robust defenses in today's digital landscape. As cyber threats continue to evolve, utilizing such advanced services becomes essential for safeguarding your online presence.

What is AWS Shield?

AWS Shield is an all-encompassing managed service that safeguards applications hosted on AWS from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Its capabilities for continuous detection and automatic inline mitigation help maintain minimal downtime and low latency for applications without the need for AWS Support intervention. AWS Shield is available in two tiers: Standard and Advanced. All AWS users automatically receive the complimentary protections included with AWS Shield Standard, which is specifically designed to guard against the most prevalent DDoS attacks occurring at the network and transport layers, affecting websites and applications. Moreover, when AWS Shield Standard is used in conjunction with Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53, it offers even greater protection, ensuring that applications remain operational during Layer 3 and 4 attack scenarios. This comprehensive security solution not only enhances the resilience of applications but also allows organizations to concentrate on their primary business functions, trusting AWS Shield to deliver crucial DDoS defense mechanisms. As a result, businesses can confidently operate in a secure environment, knowing they have robust protection against evolving threats.
