💡 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.
💡 Mobile Network Threat Landscape
Mobile carrier NAT (CGNAT) means thousands of users share a single public IP, making mobile IPs unreliable for reputation scoring. However, mobile networks are increasingly used as attack platforms through compromised apps and malicious SDKs.
