💡 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.
💡 Log Correlation and SIEM Integration
Correlating logs across web servers, firewalls, DNS, and authentication systems reveals attack patterns invisible in individual log sources. Modern SIEM platforms use statistical analysis to connect related events across time and systems.
