DDoS Defense Clause Samples

The DDoS Defense clause establishes measures and responsibilities for protecting systems and services against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Typically, it outlines the technical safeguards that must be in place, such as traffic filtering, rate limiting, or the use of specialized mitigation services, and may specify notification procedures if an attack occurs. This clause is essential for ensuring service continuity and minimizing downtime or disruption caused by malicious traffic, thereby allocating responsibility and clarifying expectations between parties regarding cybersecurity threats.
