💡 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.
💡 Certificate Transparency Monitoring
Certificate Transparency logs record all publicly trusted TLS certificates. Monitoring these logs reveals unauthorized certificate issuance, phishing domain preparation, and shadow IT — providing early warning of attacks targeting an organizations domain.
