💡 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.
💡 Zero-Day Vulnerability Markets
Zero-day vulnerabilities command premium prices in both legitimate and criminal markets. Government agencies, defensive security firms, and criminal organizations compete for these undisclosed flaws, creating a complex ecosystem around vulnerability discovery and disclosure.
