DDoS attacks often rely on the public internet to saturate links. Cloud Connect uses private connectivity to reduce exposure.
Why private links are safer
- Traffic stays on private backbone with no public IP exposure.
- Committed bandwidth with QoS and routing control.
- ACLs and filtering can be enforced at the edge.
Operational recommendations
- Separate critical application traffic from general workloads.
- Enable 24/7 monitoring and anomaly alerts.
- Run periodic DR/BCP drills.
Conclusion
Cloud Connect reduces DDoS risk, improves stability, and protects SLA for mission‑critical systems.
