FastNetMon was recently featured in an interview with Website Planet, an expert blog focused on hosting, infrastructure, and web technologies. In the conversation, our Founder Pavel Odintsov shares insights into the growing scale and speed of DDoS attacks, the limitations of traditional protection methods, and how automation is changing the landscape for network defense.
When services go offline during a DDoS attack, it’s rarely due to application overload. The real failure typically occurs upstream—at the level of transit links, ISPs, or shared network infrastructure. Once these are saturated, even indirect targets can suffer from collateral damage and loss of service.
The interview explores why legacy DDoS mitigation systems often fail to keep up. Many still rely on manual thresholds, delayed detection, or static rules that don’t match the pace of modern attacks. In today’s environment, any delay in response—even seconds—can result in service disruption, customer impact, and increased operational costs.
Real-time detection and mitigation, implemented at the network edge, is now essential. FastNetMon is built for this exact purpose: continuously monitoring traffic patterns, identifying anomalies in seconds, and triggering automated mitigation before harmful traffic reaches its destination.
The article also addresses the hidden costs of DDoS—particularly for providers billed by bandwidth—and outlines what network teams should look for in a modern defense strategy, from automation to multi-layer protection against a wide range of attack types.
