Google Brings Project Shield to DDoS Battlefield

Google has announced that it was expanding its Project Shield program, offering to protect news and human rights websites from distributed denial of service attacks for free. Project Shield uses Google's security infrastructure to detect and filter DDoS attacks, which flood websites with Internet traffic or service requests in order to impair their functioning or take them down. "A simple, inexpensive distributed denial of service attack can be carried out by almost anyone with access to a computer," noted Jared Cohen, president of Jigsaw.
