💡 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.
💡 Hacktivism and Ideological Attacks
Hacktivism combines hacking skills with political or social motivations. DDoS campaigns, website defacements, and data leaks target organizations based on ideological disagreements, adding unpredictable threat actors to the landscape.
