Unmetered Mitigation: DDoS Protection Without Limits
Cloudflare, an internet security company, has announced "Unmetered Mitigation," which eliminates the industry standard of 'surge pricing' for DDoS attacks. This means customers will not be charged more if they are targeted by an attack. The company also stated that it will no longer terminate customers regardless of the size of the DDoS attacks they receive, and their bill will not increase after an attack. This marks a significant shift in the industry as Cloudflare hopes other companies will follow suit.
