EdgeOne DDoS Defender Newly Released

EdgeOne DDoS Defender is dedicated to ensuring the stable and secure operation of user services. In the previous model, users needed to pay separately each month for multiple items, including instance fees, traffic fees, and elastic protection bandwidth packages. Moreover, the Exclusive DDoS protection was only available to Enterprise Plan subscribers. To allow more users to easily access robust protection capabilities, EdgeOne has partnered with DDoS protection products to launch the DDoS Defender, aiming to simplify activation and usage processes, and more effectively safeguard service security and continuity.

What is DDoS Defender?

DDoS Defender is a powerful, always-on DDoS-mitigation service jointly launched by EdgeOne and the Tencent Cloud DDoS Protection team, providing exclusive scrubbing-center capacity. When users onboard their services to EdgeOne, they automatically receive Standard Protection-level DDoS protection, which provides basic defense capabilities suitable for daily use by most site services and TCP/UDP applications. For services with higher DDoS attack risks or requiring customized L3/4 protection policies, subscribing to DDoS Defender offers an additional layer of security.

Basic Plans: Essential vs. Premium, Adapting to Your Needs

DDoS Defender offers two base plans; choose the one that fits your traffic's attack exposure:

  • Essential Plan – Best for low-risk workloads. After the two sessions are exhausted, you can upgrade to Premium Plan to continue protection.
  • Premium Plan – Designed for workloads that demand the highest availability.

Essential Plan

Premium Plan

1,300 USD/month/account

5,000 USD/month/account

2 mitigation sessions per month

Unlimited mitigation sessions per month

25 Protected resources

100 Protected resources

  • Note 1: Subscription is tied to the Tencent Cloud root account. One root account may protect only the business assets of a single corporate entity; channel resale is not supported. If you are a distributor, please contact us for a custom quotation.
  • Note 2: "Best-effort mitigation" means that mitigation is provided to the full extent of the current Tencent Cloud scrubbing-center capacity. The exact capacity varies by protection region and object type; see the DDoS Protection Capacity Description for details. Each mitigation session lasts up to 24 hours; any attack exceeding 24 hours will be counted as a new session.
  • Note 3: After subscribing to the Premium Plan, no additional fees are charged based on the number of mitigation sessions. However, if assets under the account suffer sustained attacks, Tencent Cloud reserves the right to redirect traffic to null-routing (black-holing).
  • Note 4: The quota for “Protected resources” here can only offset the usage generated by EO domains and EO global (excluding mainland China) L4 proxy instances. For mainland-China or global L4 proxy instances, each DDoS Defender base plan includes one protected resource at no additional cost.

Unified Subscription, Easy Coverage

  • Unified Product Form: Integrates Anti-DDoS Advanced and EdgeOne’s Exclusive DDoS protection.
  • Simplified Subscription Model: One Tencent Cloud account only needs to subscribe once to enable protection for multiple domains.
  • Broader Coverage: Applicable to domains and layer-4 proxy instances under EdgeOne Standard and Enterprise plans.
  • Lightweight Activation Process: Available for self-service purchase on the official website (EdgeOne Standard plan + DDoS Defender plan).
  • Controlled Budget Management: Billing items includes plan packages + clean traffic + number of protected domains, eliminating concerns about unexpected bills due to attack peaks.

We aim to empower every enterprise and service, regardless of scale, with more accessible and robust protection—enabling them to focus on business innovation while confidently facing DDoS challenges.
