Stop Application-layer Downtime with Adaptive Layer 7 DDoS Protection explains how modern organizations face revenue loss and degraded user experience from application-layer DDoS attacks that mimic legitimate traffic and evade traditional defenses. Unlike volumetric attacks, Layer 7 DDoS targets web applications and APIs, using techniques such as fragmentation and slow-and-low behavior that overwhelm backend resources while avoiding detection. The paper highlights the limits of decryption-heavy and siloed security approaches, which are costly and prone to false positives. It presents ThreatX by A10 Networks as an adaptive web application protection platform that uses entity- and transaction-based tracking, selective decryption, and dynamic risk scoring to identify and mitigate attacks in r
