1 Tbps+ always-on DDoS mitigation included with every Megabit Cloud plan. Volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attack coverage. No configuration required.
Every Megabit Cloud cloud server, web hosting plan, and managed service includes 1 Tbps+ DDoS protection at the network edge. No setup, no activation, protection is on by default from the moment your service is provisioned.
Coverage includes volumetric attacks (bandwidth flood), protocol attacks (SYN flood, UDP flood), and application-layer attacks (HTTP flood). Keep your Uganda-based services online during attack events.
Ugandan organisations and businesses across these sectors rely on this service.
Uganda's ISPs and telcos, including MTN Uganda, Airtel Uganda, and regional ISPs, are frequent targets of DDoS attacks on routing infrastructure and customer-facing portals. Network-level mitigation from an East Africa–present provider keeps service available without expensive international scrubbing.
Electoral Commission Uganda and government portals face DDoS attacks during election seasons and budget readings. Infrastructure-level always-on protection prevents politically-motivated disruption to critical public services.
MTN MoMo and Airtel Money developer APIs are targets for volumetric attacks during peak payment periods, month-end salary cycles, school fees deadlines, and agricultural purchase seasons. Always-on L3/L4/L7 mitigation keeps payment APIs available when Ugandan businesses depend on them most.
Uganda's independent digital news platforms face politically-motivated DDoS attacks during sensitive reporting periods. East Africa cluster DDoS mitigation keeps editorial platforms available and protects investigative journalism from infrastructure silencing.
