The DDoS Response Team and Cost Protection
Learn what Advanced adds for large-scale attack support.
Two Premium Benefits
Two of the most valuable Shield Advanced features are the Shield Response Team (SRT) and DDoS cost protection. Together they provide expert human help during an attack and financial relief for the scaling costs an attack causes. Both are exclusive to the Advanced tier.
Who the SRT Is
The Shield Response Team (SRT) is a group of AWS DDoS specialists available to Shield Advanced subscribers. They assist with diagnosing complex attacks, building custom mitigations, and reviewing your defenses. They are your escalation path when an attack overwhelms automatic protections.
