# Secure by design and at scale

Netlify’s Frontend Cloud has a reduced attack surface, offering security by design.

Netlify also offers these security features to help you stay secure as you scale:

# Support against DDoS attacks

Even if a malicious attacker tries to take down your site, our global infrastructure and automated DDoS protection can keep your site available.

Netlify automatically detects distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and will rate limit and block malicious clients from connecting to sites hosted on our servers.

Our edge network mitigates malicious clients from impacting network performance in several ways, including:

  • Global load balancing: routes traffic strategically amongst our many servers. Netlify manages these servers to ensure capacity grows as needed.
  • Automatic DDoS detection: automatically identifies anomalous clients that pose a risk to your site’s availability.
  • Automatic rate limiting & blocking: mitigates attacks by rate limiting and blocking identified clients from connecting to sites deployed on Netlify and hosted on our servers.

Control traffic to your site

To help you control traffic to your site, you can configure your own traffic rules and block traffic or only allow traffic from specific geographic locations or IP addresses. Learn more about Firewall Traffic Rules. This feature may be helpful for certain DDoS attacks when you have an idea of where the attack is coming from.

You can also monitor site traffic with Log Drains.
