What is DDoS Guard CDN and how does it differ from a standard CDN?

DDoS Guard CDN is a Content Delivery Network specifically engineered with robust Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection at its core. Unlike standard CDNs primarily focused on content caching and delivery speed, DDoS Guard CDN actively mitigates DDoS attacks of all types (Volumetric, Application Layer, Protocol attacks) *before* they reach your origin server. Standard CDNs may offer some basic DDoS protection, but it's often insufficient against sophisticated attacks. DDoS Guard CDN utilizes specialized filtering techniques, traffic scrubbing centers, and rate limiting to ensure availability even under heavy attack.
