Autonomous AI-Driven Defense for High-Impact DDoS Attacks
The Fortinet FortiDDoS 1500E is a purpose-built DDoS protection appliance designed to defend large attack surfaces with zero manual intervention. Using a massively parallel machine-learning architecture, it inspects 100% of Layer 3, 4, and 7 traffic in real time, detecting and mitigating attacks from the first packet. Unlike signature-based systems, FortiDDoS 1500E builds adaptive behavioral baselines, ensuring accurate protection against both known and zero-day DDoS threats without performance compromise.
Key Benefits & Features
-
100% Packet Inspection: Full bidirectional inspection of all L3, L4, and L7 packets ensures precise detection even for small-packet and multi-vector attacks.
-
Autonomous Machine Learning: Continuously analyzes hundreds of thousands of parameters to establish normal traffic baselines and instantly mitigate anomalies.
-
High-Capacity Mitigation: Supports up to 40 Gbps inspected throughput and up to 280 Gbps maximum mitigation for large-scale volumetric attacks.
-
Invisible Inline Deployment: Operates without IP or MAC addresses in the data path, remaining completely transparent to attackers.
-
Advanced DNS and NTP Protection: Stops DNS and NTP reflection floods from the first packet, supporting up to 12 million DNS QPS and 6 million NTP QPS.
Ideal Use Cases
- Internet service providers and carriers protecting backbone infrastructure
- Large enterprises with public-facing applications and services
- Data centers and hosting providers requiring always-on DDoS mitigation
- Financial institutions with strict uptime and security requirements
