💡 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.
💡 Honeypot Network Intelligence
Honeypots are decoy systems designed to attract and study attackers. Networks of honeypots provide early warning of new attack campaigns, reveal attacker tools and techniques, and generate high-confidence threat intelligence with minimal false positives.
