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.
