Hi everyone. I'm still getting my feet wet with cloud operations, but I'm trying to plan our security posture. I've been looking at Radware's DDoS protection.

I'm a bit nervous about picking the wrong tier. Can someone explain the practical, day-to-day difference between the Essential and Advanced plans? Like, what would I actually be able to *configure* or *see* in one that I can't in the other?

For example, in AWS, a basic security group vs. a network ACL has clear rule differences you can see in Terraform:

```hcl
# Simple SG rule
resource "aws_security_group_rule" "allow_http" {
type = "ingress"
from_port = 80
to_port = 80
protocol = "tcp"
cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
}
```

Is the jump from Essential to Advanced similar? Is it more about automated response actions, detailed reporting, or something else? Really trying to understand the operational gap.
