Real-World DDoS Testing — Without the Real-World Risks
Maelstrom is built to safely simulate real DDoS attacks in a fully controlled environment. That means:
No harm to your production systems
No service disruptions
Full visibility into how your defenses respond under pressure
Run controlled DDoS load testing across network, cloud, app, and API layers—all without compromising security or uptime.
Test Your Defenses at Scale with Maelstrom™
This isn’t basic load testing. Maelstrom™ replicates complex attack behavior at a scale most platforms can’t match. As a purpose-built DDoS simulation platform, it emulates real threat actors, targeting bandwidth, server capacity, firewalls, and apps from all angles.With our global infrastructure, you can launch attack simulations from 29 regions worldwide. Whether you want to test a CDN, cloud firewall, or full stack, Maelstrom gives you the power.
- ✅ Simulate Layer 3 to Layer 7 DDoS attacks
- ✅ Launch billions of virtual users
- ✅ Run tests from 29 global regions
- ✅ Authenticate targets to avoid unintended impact
- ✅ Get detailed insights and post-test reports
See How Maelstrom Runs Safe, Realistic DDoS Tests
Maelstrom creates powerful, real-world DDoS attacks in a safe and controlled way. Here's what happens during a test:
Our system orchestrates hyper-realistic virtual users or callers from your choice of 29 regions around the globe. They leverage dozens of real devices with rotating IPs to emulate real traffic; not just another bot-net. The system has proven strong and realistic enough to bypass WAF and CloudFlare protections, giving you insights into how your actual infrastructure holds up at scale if third parties fail to mitigate nation-state level attacks.
These virtual users can create billions of interactions per second, allowing you to test how your web apps, APIs, and voice systems hold up under serious pressure. Emulate nation-state level attacks in your lower level environments to be sure production never goes down, ensuring your SLA uptime requirements.
A Solution Your Whole Team Can Rely On
We built Maelstrom for one reason: to give security and infrastructure teams the power to fight back—before it’s too late. Our enterprise DDoS testing solutions are uniquely designed for safe, scalable, and controlled DDoS load testing. You get:
- Unmatched Scale & Accuracy: Simulate billions of users safely
- Flexible Deployment: Test cloud, hybrid, or private environments on your schedule
- Actionable Results: Reports that drive measurable improvements
Don’t Wait for a Breach to Test Your Limits
Every minute your system is down can hurt your business. You don’t just lose money—you lose trust. On average, downtime can cost over $300,000 every hour. That’s why Maelstrom helps you test your systems before real attacks happen. You’ll find weak spots, fix them fast, and stay ready—so your team stays in control, not in crisis.
