Security Intelligence
💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
💡 Residential Proxy Networks
Residential proxies route traffic through real home internet connections, making malicious traffic appear to come from legitimate users. Some networks install proxy software bundled with free applications, unknowingly conscripting millions of devices.
