💡 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.
💡 Network Flow Analysis
Analyzing network flows (NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX) provides visibility into traffic patterns without inspecting packet contents. Flow data reveals scanning activity, data exfiltration, lateral movement, and command-and-control channels at scale.
