The Cloudflare DDoS is being used for Web Application Firewall. DDoS is built back into the Web Application Firewall so we inherited the same from the DDoS protection.

We have to make sure that we are protected in our domain, our website from the public Internet because we don't want any compromise to our site.

With DDoS, we have to ensure that we are not hijacked. So that's why we want to eliminate the attacks on our infracturer.

I use the solution for scrubbing internet-based traffic that comes toward a particular company’s data center. The traffic is directed to Cloudflare first. Cloudflare does the traffic scrubbing and sends the clean traffic toward the company's data center.

We use the product to mitigate the security risk of dynamic DDoS attacks. In these attacks, millions of requests come from millions of different IPs to get our server down. If we do not have a security solution to mitigate this risk, the service for other users will be down. The server will be down due to the huge consumption of resources.

Cloudflare DDoS protects against bots and DDoS attacks. I'm using the free version for my personal website.

I'm just using the bare minimum amount of DDoS Protection out of the tier we use. We're a pretty small company, so we haven't been the target of any major DDoS attacks yet. That's why so far the basic DDoS is all we need.

If your company uses Cloudflare, then everyone in your environment inherits DDoS protection.

There is no such thing as maintaining this solution — everything is baked into it. Unless of course, you want to pay for the enterprise tier. Then maybe you could gain access to extra DDoS Protection.
