A ~1 hour response time from identifying to mitigating the DDoS isn't exactly bad. I'd say their engineers did a pretty good job.

Security really isn't my strong suit, but isn't it standard practice to automate DDoS mitigation strategies?

Depends on the type and size of the DDoS and where on the network path it's hitting.

DoS is a threat from identifiable source, like Russia. DDoS looks just like normal users, like terrorist sleeping cells.
