📅 July 2025 ✍️ TCOIQ Analysis 🔵 Low Impact

Azure reduced DDoS Network Protection pricing by 15%. Now $2,944/month per VNet (was $3,440). Includes DDoS rapid response team, cost guarantee and advanced mitigation. Basic DDoS protection remains free.

TCOIQ: DDoS Network Protection is only justified for public-facing services processing over $100K/month — cost of an attack exceeds the subscription cost. For most workloads, Azure Front Door with WAF and Cloudflare free tier provide adequate DDoS mitigation at much lower cost.
