-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.
