Myra DDoS Protection Reviews & Product Details

Myra DDoS Protection is a SaaS solution that helps organizations defend their websites, web applications, and APIs against application-layer (Layer 7) DDoS attacks that target existing connections and seek to overload web servers with seemingly legitimate requests. Myra DDoS Protection works as an upstream reverse proxy, blocking harmful traffic flows through multi-level filter layers while allowing valid requests to continue reaching the origin infrastructure as usual. The solution requires no additional hardware or software – setup is handled either by adjusting a DNS CNAME record or through automated integration via the Myra API. It is part of the broader Myra Application Security suite and can be extended with additional security products as needed. The solution is designed for organizations in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and public sector, as well as operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) that require certified, compliance-ready protection for their web-facing assets. Key features and capabilities include: - Automated Layer 7 Attack Mitigation: Myra's automated defenses take effect in under one second, and on average block over 8 million malicious Layer 7 requests per customer annually. - Deep Packet Inspection: By uploading SSL/TLS certificates, Myra can terminate TLS connections and inspect traffic at a deep packet level, enabling granular filtering of malicious application-layer requests. - Customizable Filtering Rules: Myra's Security Operations Center (SOC) works with customers to configure multi-layer filtering rules and custom security settings tailored to their specific environment and traffic patterns. - GeoIP-Based Traffic Controls: Suspicious clients can be blocked or rate-limited based on geographic origin, giving teams fine-grained control over incoming traffic without impacting legitimate users. - Compliance & Certification: Myra holds ISO 27001 certification based on BSI IT-Grundschutz, BSI C5 Type 2, BSI KRITIS qualification, PCI-DSS, IDW PS 951 Type 2, ISO 9001 and supports compliance with NIS-2, DORA, and GDPR requirements. Myra guarantees service availability of up to 99.9% via SLA, backed by 24/7 monitoring and automated attack notifications. The platform provides complete traffic visibility to support smart load balancing and reliable failover, ensuring web applications remain accessible even during sustained application-layer attacks.
