In 2026, the threat of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks has reached unprecedented levels. Modern botnets are now capable of launching “hyper-volumetric” assaults that peak at tens of terabits per second, easily overwhelming traditional on-premise hardware and standard ISP protections. For an enterprise, these attacks are a direct threat to revenue, customer trust, and operational continuity.
Protecting a large-scale organization requires a shift from reactive filtering to an edge-based, proactive defense. Here are four ways that Cloudflare Enterprise, managed through 101domain, provides a definitive shield against these modern threats.
1. Move mitigation to the edge.
Traditional security often relies on “scrubbing centers,” where suspicious traffic is rerouted to a central location to be cleaned before being sent back to the origin. This process introduces significant latency and creates a bottleneck.
Cloudflare Enterprise utilizes a Global Anycast Network spanning over 330 cities. Instead of hauling traffic to a distant center, every single data center in the Cloudflare network is equipped with full DDoS mitigation capabilities. Attacks are identified and neutralized at the edge (the point closest to the source) ensuring that malicious traffic never even reaches your network.
2. Leverage unmetered, autonomous defense.
One of the most predatory practices in the cybersecurity industry is “surge pricing,” where vendors charge customers more based on the volume of attack traffic they receive. Cloudflare Enterprise eliminates this “attack tax” with Unmetered Mitigation.
- Unlimited Scale: You are protected regardless of the size, duration, or frequency of the attack.
- Predictable Costs: Your monthly investment remains stable, allowing your team to focus on defense rather than budget overages during a crisis.
- Zero-Second Latency: Cloudflare’s autonomous systems use machine learning to detect and block 90% of attacks in under three seconds, often before your internal monitoring tools even register a spike.
3. Comprehensive layer 3 to layer 7 protection.
Enterprises face a dual threat: volumetric floods that target the network plumbing (Layers 3 and 4) and sophisticated “low and slow” attacks that target the application itself (Layer 7).
| Attack Type | Target | Cloudflare Enterprise Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Volumetric (L3/4) | Bandwidth & Infrastructure | Magic Transit: Protects entire IP subnets by rerouting all traffic through Cloudflare’s edge. |
| Protocol (L3/4) | Firewalls & Load Balancers | Spectrum: Extends DDoS protection to any TCP/UDP-based application (like gaming, FTP, or VoIP). |
| Application (L7) | Web Servers & APIs | WAF & Bot Management: Uses behavioral analysis to distinguish human users from malicious scripts. |
4. Advanced threat intelligence.
Cloudflare protects approximately 20% of the entire web. This massive footprint provides a unique vantage point. When a new botnet emerges or a zero-day exploit is used against one customer, the entire network “learns” and applies that protection to all other customers instantly. For an enterprise, this means your defenses are constantly evolving based on global real-time data.
