Peak-sale DDoS defence rehearsed before the sale, not during. Bot rules that separate scalpers from customers. PCI-DSS scope reduction through tokenisation so your audit boundary shrinks by an order of magnitude. Checkout abuse detection that catches card testing and coupon fraud. DPDP-aligned customer data workflows. Built for D2C brands, marketplaces and online retail.
Sale-day DDoS on the checkout. Attackers time volumetric floods to the moment marketing has spent lakhs driving traffic. Some are competitors, some are extortion attempts, most are opportunistic. The default cloud WAF setup does not stop this on its own. You need real scrubbing capacity, WAF rules tuned for the specific request shape of your checkout, and a runbook the on-call team has actually rehearsed.
Bot traffic that eats inventory and skews caching. Scalper bots buying limited drops in the first 8 seconds. Price-scraper bots hitting product detail pages until your CDN cache hit rate collapses. Inventory-watch bots hammering search endpoints for stock signals. All of these degrade the customer experience for legitimate buyers, and only endpoint-specific bot rules catch them.
Card testing on the payment gateway. A botnet with a fresh dump runs thousands of auth attempts against your checkout to identify live cards. The payment gateway catches some, but often not before the attempts show up on your acquirer statement as chargebacks and gateway fees. Detection rules that correlate account creation, coupon use and payment failure rate turn this from a monthly fire into a solved problem.
Account takeover and refund abuse. Credential stuffing against customer logins, followed by refund abuse loops or wallet drain. Loyalty point theft. COD address enumeration. These are the fraud patterns that show up on the CFO's dashboard as "cost of promotions" but are really the cost of missing fraud rules on the checkout and account layer.
Every retail vendor promises DDoS defence. We rehearse the runbook with your on-call team the week before the sale, run a synthetic load test on the actual production edge, and sit on the war-room call from sale start to +2 hours. The difference between a Diwali outage and a Diwali record is who is on the call when the first weird spike hits.
