Google Cloud Armor: Defending your services

Google Cloud Armor delivers defense at scale against infrastructure and application distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks using Google’s global infrastructure and security systems.

BERJAYA

Infrastructure DDoS defense

Google Cloud Armor works with Cloud Load Balancing to provide built-in defenses against infrastructure DDoS attacks. Google Cloud Armor benefits from more than a decade of experience protecting the world’s largest internet properties like Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube.

Rich language for custom defense (alpha)

Google Cloud Armor’s flexible rules language enables you to customize your defenses and mitigate multivector attacks. It also provides predefined rules to defend against cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (SQLi) application-aware attacks. Alpha features are only available to selected customers for a limited availability test but will be more generally available soon.
