### How we count the number of DDoS attacks
2020

21-
Cloudflare's main DDoS systems, the [DDoS Managed Ruleset](/ddos-protection/managed-rulesets/), generates real-time fingerprints for DDoS attacks that it automatically detects and mitigates. While there may be multiple fingerprints generated for a single DDoS attack, or attack campaign, we count unique fingerprints that resulted in mitigation to get an understanding of the number of DDoS attacks for a given period of time. While in some cases, we can see an 'explosion' of fingerprints due to randomized DDoS attacks, for the most part, this figure gives us a reliable indicator to track over time.

Currently, the number of DDoS attacks does not take into consideration the [Advanced TCP Protetion system](/ddos-protection/advanced-ddos-systems/overview/advanced-tcp-protection/) or the [Advanced DNS Protection system](/ddos-protection/advanced-ddos-systems/overview/advanced-dns-protection/). We also don't take into account any mitigations by customer-created rules or configuration.
