💡 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.
💡 Critical Infrastructure Targeting
Attacks on power grids, water systems, and transportation networks have moved from theoretical to practical threats. Industrial control systems often lack modern security features, making them vulnerable to both targeted and opportunistic attacks.
