Bahnhof’s DDoS protection mitigates overload attacks by stopping malicious traffic at the edge and filtering it further close to your environment — fully integrated into our own network. The result is minimal latency, high capacity, and scalable protection with dedicated resources and 24/7 support.
Why is DDoS protection crucial?
Robust DDoS protection is now just as critical for organisations running websites, e-commerce platforms or digital services as a stable server environment. Without effective protection, you risk service outages, lost revenue and systems being taken offline by everything from botnets (remotely controlled networks of compromised machines) to sophisticated overload attacks.
DDoS attacks are increasing steadily year by year. Threat actors use malware, hijacked IoT devices and exploited vulnerabilities to build large botnets that can quickly knock out small websites, APIs and entire business platforms.
With the right DDoS protection in place, malicious traffic is filtered before it reaches your infrastructure. This includes blocking malware-generated traffic, botnet requests, flood attacks, spoofed packets and other known attack patterns. As a result, your services continue to operate even when attackers attempt to disrupt them. At the same time, the need for recovery and incident management is reduced, saving both time and money.
In short: without proper protection against DDoS attacks, your business is exposed to some of the most common and fastest-growing cyber threats on the internet.

Frequently asked questions about DDoS protection
What is DDoS protection?
DDoS protection is a security solution that protects websites, servers and networks against overload attacks. A DDoS attack aims to take a service offline by sending extremely large volumes of traffic simultaneously. With effective DDoS protection in place, malicious traffic can be filtered out while legitimate traffic is allowed through.
How does the protection work?
DDoS protection is based on continuous traffic analysis to identify abnormal patterns. When an attack is detected, malicious traffic is filtered or rate-limited, while legitimate traffic is allowed to pass.
Bahnhof’s service is built directly into the infrastructure, enabling attacks to be detected early and handled before they cause service disruptions.
Why does my business need DDoS protection?
Businesses are often targets of DDoS attacks because downtime can lead to significant financial losses. A security solution is therefore essential to ensure availability, protect the brand and avoid interruptions to business-critical systems.
How quickly can a DDoS attack be detected?
Traffic is monitored continuously, allowing abnormal patterns to be identified quickly in many cases. Early detection reduces the risk of service disruption and makes it possible to mitigate the attack before it has serious consequences.
Does DDoS protection affect performance or response times?
Filtering is performed automatically and is designed to allow legitimate traffic through without unnecessary delays, even during periods of high traffic volume.
Do you need DDoS protection even if you have never been attacked?
Yes. Many DDoS attacks occur without warning and are broad rather than targeted at specific organisations. For this reason, protection is often considered a fundamental part of secure and stable operations, rather than a measure introduced only after an incident—when it may already be too late.
