💡 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.
💡 Patch Management Urgency
The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink. Critical CVEs are now exploited within hours of publication. Automated patch management, virtual patching through WAFs, and rapid deployment pipelines are essential for timely remediation.
