Google Offers Details on DDoS Mitigation Service for Cloud Platform

Google Offers Details on DDoS Mitigation Service for Cloud Platform. Google has released more details of its newly announced Cloud Armor system for mitigating distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The service is one of about 20 security enhancements Google announced recently as part of a broad effort to convince enterprise customers that they can move mission critical business applications to Google Cloud Platform with confidence.  Cloud Armor uses the same infrastructure and technologies that Google uses to protect services like Gmail, Search and YouTube. Cloud Armor gives enterprises using Google's cloud services a way to set and enforce specific traffic management rules to prevent DDoS attack traffic from disrupting Internet facing applications and workloads. Google's global HTTP(S) load balancing server is the first Google cloud service to support Cloud Armor, said Prajakta Joshi, product manager, cloud networking at Google in a blog March 26.
