What types of DDoS attacks are Fortinet solutions most effective at detecting and blocking?

Fortinet solutions provide comprehensive protection across various DDoS attack types. They are highly effective at mitigating Volume-based Attacks (Layer 3/4) like UDP, ICMP, and SYN floods via FortiGate and FortiDDoS. Protocol Attacks (Layer 3/4) such as fragmented packet attacks are handled by FortiGate's stateful inspection and IPS. For Application-Layer Attacks (Layer 7) like HTTP floods, Slowloris, and DNS floods, FortiWeb, FortiADC, and FortiDDoS offer robust defenses. Fortinet solutions also detect and block Reflection/Amplification Attacks (e.g., DNS, NTP amplification) through anomaly detection and rate limiting, ensuring broad spectrum coverage.
