💡 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.
💡 Multi-Factor Authentication Importance
MFA dramatically reduces the effectiveness of credential-based attacks. Even when passwords are compromised through phishing or data breaches, the additional authentication factor prevents unauthorized access in the vast majority of cases.
