Security Intelligence
💡 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.
💡 Ransomware-as-a-Service Economy
The RaaS model allows technically unskilled criminals to deploy sophisticated ransomware through affiliate programs. Operators provide the malware, infrastructure, and negotiation services, taking a percentage of ransom payments from their affiliates.
