💡 Satellite Internet Security
Satellite internet introduces unique security challenges including high latency that affects real-time threat detection, shared bandwidth that enables traffic sniffing, and coverage areas that cross multiple jurisdictions complicating legal response.
💡 Subnet-Level vs IP-Level Blocking
When multiple IPs in a subnet show malicious behavior, subnet blocking efficiently neutralizes the threat. However, overly broad blocking risks impacting legitimate users. Analysis of subnet ownership and historical behavior guides appropriate blocking scope.
