💡 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.
💡 Cryptojacking Detection and Prevention
Cryptojacking hijacks computing resources to mine cryptocurrency without consent. Indicators include unusual CPU usage, specific network connections to mining pools, and JavaScript miners embedded in compromised websites. Server-side cryptojacking can persist undetected for months.
