Within the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/ddos-protection">DDoS Protection</a> category, a couple of platforms carry direct reviewer evidence from financial services and banking, specifically.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cloudflare-application-security-and-performance/reviews"><strong>Cloudflare Application Security and Performance</strong></a>: A reviewer at a financial platform specifically points to no visible outages during traffic spikes or attempted attacks, framing the return on investment directly in terms of incidents avoided, since downtime at a financial firm quickly turns into a surge of customer contacts.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/radware-cloud-ddos-protection-service/reviews"><strong>Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service</strong></a>: reviewers point to behavior-based detection and automated mitigation, maintaining service availability through sophisticated, large-scale attacks, with real-time reporting giving clear visibility during both live incidents and after-the-fact analysis.</li>

Something worth adding to your test-under-attack question: the outcome most institutions care about isn&#39;t whether mitigation kicked in, it&#39;s whether legitimate customers stayed served while it did. False positives during mitigation are the quiet cost, since a blocked genuine login produces the same call volume as an outage. That&#39;s why the behaviour-based detection and real-time reporting described for Radware matter, because they give you visibility into what was dropped and not just that the attack was absorbed.
