According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global DDoS Shield market size was valued at US$ 5162 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 11056 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 11.7% during review period.
A DDoS shield is a comprehensive protection system designed to combat distributed denial-of-service attacks. It utilizes cloud-based scrubbing centers, edge networks, high-performance detection engines, and automated defense strategies to identify, filter, rate-limit, schedule, and block malicious traffic from the network, transport, and application layers in real time, thereby ensuring business continuity, network availability, and service stability. It typically consists of multiple modules, including traffic monitoring, attack identification, intelligent scheduling, traffic scrubbing, application-layer stress testing, and 24/7 SOC response, aiming to provide organizations with end-to-end DDoS protection capabilities before, during, and after an attack.
Gross Margin Level
DDoS Shield is a typical hybrid business type of "high-margin cloud security + certain service costs". Taking representative vendors as examples, Cloudflare's overall gross margin in fiscal year 2024 was approximately 77%, and its rolling gross margin in recent years has averaged approximately 76%–78%, reflecting its asset-light model mainly based on cloud security and edge platform subscriptions. On the other hand, Radware, which focuses on DDoS and application security, had a gross margin of approximately 82% in Q1 2024, and has consistently maintained a high level of approximately 80% in recent years, indicating that high-end DDoS/application security products themselves have strong pricing power and economies of scale. After adding 24/7 managed traffic boosting, incident response, and professional services, the overall gross margin of the DDoS Shield business line usually drops from 70–80% to the 55–70% range, depending on the service ratio and labor costs; while in the carrier and integrator channels, considering channel revenue sharing and project-based delivery, the overall project gross margin is often between 40–55%. For established vendors, security and cloud computing (including DDoS protection) typically support non-GAAP operating profit margins of around 30%, making DDoS protection a high-margin, high-quality cash flow segment within the cybersecurity industry with strong economies of scale.
Industry Drivers
The core drivers of the DDoS shield market can be summarized as "agglomeration of attacks + online business + cloud-edge architecture + rigid compliance." On one hand, multiple research institutions have pointed out that global DDoS attacks are evolving from traditional short-term bandwidth-intensive attacks to multi-vector, long-duration, Tbps-level combined attacks, and even the emergence of "DDoS as a Service" black market models, making self-built firewalls or simple ACLs insufficient to withstand large-scale attack surges. On the other hand, enterprises are increasingly reliant on online business, from e-commerce and online finance to cloud APIs, SaaS platforms, and IoT control planes. Any downtime of even a few minutes can result in significant revenue and reputational losses, directly driving investment in high SLA and high-redundancy DDoS shields. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of cloud computing and edge computing has led to highly dispersed traffic across multiple clouds, regions, and edge nodes, making traditional single-point protection inadequate. DDoS Shield, based on global Anycast, cloud scrubbing centers, and carrier-inherent protection, is architecturally better suited to this distributed scenario. Simultaneously, GDPR, NIS2, critical infrastructure security regulations, and regulatory requirements for the availability of financial, telecommunications, and public services in various countries have gradually transformed DDoS protection from a "technical option" into a "compliance necessity." The inclusion of DDoS protection as a standard value-added service in network and cloud products by carriers and cloud vendors has further amplified the market's penetration rate and long-term growth potential.
