How To: Enable Flood Protection/DoS Configuration in Titan

Question

How can I enable DoS (Denial of Service) Protection in Titan?

Reasoning

Flood Protection/DoS Protection is designed to mitigate the risk of attacks by blocking malicious traffic and preventing overwhelming requests from a hacker or unauthorized sources. Enabling this feature helps safeguard the server from DoS attacks that could disrupt service availability.

Answer

In Titan SFTP and Titan MFT, you can enable Flood Protection/DoS protection to prevent attacks by controlling incoming traffic patterns and filtering potentially harmful connections. Here’s how to configure it:

Steps

            3.      Click on ‘Flood Protection / DoS’ and check the box labeled ‘Enable DoS / Hammer / Flood Protection Features.’

• You can configure how many connection attempts within a specific time window (in seconds) will trigger a ban on the offending IP address.
  

• Choose whether the IP address responsible for the flood will be banned:
  
•  Indefinitely (Forever)

1. Click Apply to save.

            4.      Enable Username Hacking Protection (Optional):

1. For additional protection against brute-force login attempts, check the box for ‘Enable Username Hacking Protection Features.’
   

1. Similarly to Flood Protection, configure the number of failed login attempts within a specified time (in seconds) that will result in the banning of the IP address.
   

You can also specify whether the IP should be banned indefinitely or temporarily.
