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.
💡 Deepfake Technology in Social Engineering
Deepfake audio and video enable convincing impersonation of executives and trusted individuals. Real-time voice cloning has been used in successful fraud campaigns, adding a new dimension to social engineering that traditional security training does not address.
